Walter E. Williams 

Is income 

inequality fair? 

Some Americans have much higher 

income and wealth than others. 

Former President Barack Obama 

explained, “I do think at a certain point 

you’ve made enough money.” An adviser 

to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who 

has a Twitter account called “Every Billionaire 

Is A Policy Failure,” tweeted, “My 

goal for this year is to get a moderator to 

ask ‘Is it morally appropriate for anyone 

to be a billionaire?’” Democratic presidential 

hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren, in 

calling for a wealth tax, complained, “The 

rich and powerful are taking so much for 

themselves and leaving so little for everyone 

else.” 

These people would have an argument if 

there were piles of money on the ground 

called income, with billionaires and millionaires 

surreptitiously getting to those 

piles first and taking their unfair shares. In 

that case, corrective public policy would 

require a redistribution of the income, 

wherein the ill-gotten gains of the few 

would be taken and returned to their rightful 

owners. The same could be said if there 

were a dealer of dollars who – because of 

his being a racist, sexist, multinationalist 

and maybe a Republican – didn’t deal the 

dollars fairly. If he dealt millions to some 

and mere crumbs to others, decent public 

policy would demand a redealing of the 

dollars, or what some call income redistribution. 

You say, “Williams, that’s lunacy.” 

You’re right. In a free society, people earn 

income by serving their fellow man. 

Here’s an example: I mow your lawn, 

and you pay me $40. Then, I go to my 

grocer and demand two six-packs of beer 

and three pounds of steak. In effect, the 

grocer says, “Williams, you are asking 

your fellow man to serve you by giving 

you beer and steak. What did you do to 

serve your fellow man?” My response is, “I 

mowed his lawn.” The grocer says, “Prove 

it.” That’s when I produce the $40. We can 

think of the, say, two $20 bills as certificates 

of performance – proof that I served 

my fellow man. 

A system that requires one to serve his 

fellow man to have a claim on what he 

produces is far more moral than a system 

without such a requirement. 

For example, Congress can tell me, “Williams, 

you don’t have to get out in that hot 

sun to mow a lawn to have a claim on what 

your fellow man produces. Just vote for me, 

and through the tax code, I will take some 

of what your fellow man produces and 

give it to you.” 

Let’s look at a few multibillionaires to 

see whether they have served their fellow 

man well. Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, 

with a net worth over $90 billion, is 

the second-richest person in the world. 

He didn’t acquire that wealth through 

violence. Millions of people around the 

world voluntarily plunked down money to 

buy Microsoft products. That explains the 

great wealth of people such as Gates. They 

discovered what their fellow man wanted 

and didn’t have, and they found out ways 

to effectively produce it. Their fellow man 

voluntarily gave them dollars. If Gates and 

others had followed President Obama’s 

advice that “at a certain point” they’d 

“made enough money” and shut down their 

companies when they had earned their first 

billion or two, mankind wouldn’t have 

most of the technological development we 

enjoy today. 

Take a look at the website Billionaire 

Mailing List’s list of current billionaires 

[http://tinyurl.com/yd6mme37]. On it, 

you will find people who have made great 

contributions to society. Way down on the 

list is Gordon Earle Moore, co-founder of 

Intel. He has a net worth of $6 billion. In 

1968, Moore developed and marketed the 

integrated circuit, or microchip, which is 

responsible for thousands of today’s innovations, 

such as MRIs, advances in satellite 

technology and your desktop computer. 

Though Moore has benefited immensely 

from his development and marketing of the 

microchip, his benefit pales in comparison 

with how our nation and the world have 

benefited in terms of lives improved and 

saved by the host of technological innovations 

made possible by the microchip. 

The only people who benefit from class 

warfare are politicians and the elite; they 

get our money and control our lives. Plus, 

we just might ask ourselves: Where is a 

society headed that holds its most productive 

members up to ridicule and scorn and 

makes mascots out of its least productive 

and most parasitic members?

4 I OPINION I 



LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

The Future of Chesterfield Mall 

To the Editor: 

Some years back when West Newsmagazine 

published the article about the proposal 

for two outlet malls in Chesterfield Valley, 

I submitted a letter to the editor, which was 

published, about the logic behind that proposal.The 

issue at the time was the need 

for not one but two outlet malls within a 

15-minute drive of an already existing and 

thriving mall. 

Anyone could see the future of Chesterfield 

Mall back then, yet the city went 

ahead and accepted both proposals. Now, 

here we are not that many years down the 

road and the inevitable has happened! 

What was once a thriving retail business 

is now a ghost town. In addition to that, 

one of those two outlet malls [Taubman] 

has already been sold to a different developer 

who plans to change it. 

So now, the city of Chesterfield is 

scratching their heads over the complications 

of what to do with a deteriorating 

mall. Did they really not foresee this in the 

first place? Everyone else did! 

Janet Husgen 

• • • 


Three or four years ago, when the mall 

was still in receivership, I had a conversation 

with Mayor Bob Nation about the 

city’s involvement in the transition of the 

mall property. 

Mr. Nation seemed surprised that I would 

have any expectation of the city’s involvement 

or that it might be important for the 

city to have a seat at the table so as to help 

transition the property to something that 

would benefit the community and avoid 

the property becoming an albatross. 

Clearly, the property has been iconic for 

the city of Chesterfield and has tremendous 

potential and value. 

Mr. Nation stated that to do so would 

mean offering some kind of incentive, as 

though that would be an outrageous consideration. 

He went on to point out that 

Chesterfield was the wealthiest municipality 

in the area, the absolute envy of all, 

including Kirkwood and Clayton. 

Mr. Nation perhaps lacks an appreciation 

for quality over quantity. The city might 

also be out of touch with what the community 

wants. This is Chesterfield shooting 

itself in the foot – again. Instead of being 

proactive to protect the future interest of 

this pivotal property for the community 

and actually creating what could have been 

a cool, vibrant, revenue-generating citycenter, 

a destination, the city chose instead 

to do what it appears to be best at – nothing. 

No doubt it was this same do-nothing 

approach that led to the over development 

of chain store retail that has left the area 

with a dying mall locked into a dysfunctional 

ownership structure and a second 

outlet mall that is nearly shuttered. 

Mr. Nation, trust me, no one in Kirkwood 

is envious of this.

Responding to ‘Building the wall’ 


In his letter, “Building the Wall” [“Letters 

to the Editor,” March 6], Mr. William 

E. Quinn credits Trump with a “strategic 

accomplishment reminiscent of Caesar, 

Alexander or Hannibal” – as if comparing 

an American president to men who were 

all imperialistic military dictators is an 

admirable thing. 

Of course, as an academically challenged 

nonreader, “Bone Spurs” Trump 

probably has no idea who those three guys 

were anyway. 

Mr. Quinn says Trump maneuvered 

“the Democrats into a situation of having 

helped fund a portion of the wall” [actually 

a section of fencing, not a wall] “while 

leaving them in an untenable position of 

attempting to stop a complete wall.” How 

untenable is it when most Americans do 

not want the wall? We want border security 

that makes sense, not a wall. 

In 2017, old Bone Spurs Trump arrogantly 

rejected $24 billion of wall money 

and ended up in 2019 settling for a little 

over $1 billion for the wall/fence. Some 

deal! 

Who maneuvered whom? Maybe the old 

fool is trying to get the cost down to a level 

where Mexico will be willing to pay for it 

after all. 

Bill Howard 

• • • 

I am responding to “Building the wall” 

by William E. Quinn. 

Mr. Quinn, the only “interesting” thing 

from your letter was your misperception of 

reality. My understanding is that there has 

already been over 650 miles of border wall 

built. Yet, all of this construction occurred 

under the two previous administrations. 

Most of the wall I reference was built in 

highly populated areas where it would be 

most effective. 

It is also my understanding that not one 

mile of “new” wall has been built under 

Trump’s watch. 

Is that Herculean? Trump’s “maneuvering” 

that you laud includes doing nothing 

for his first two years, when he had control 

of both chambers of Congress, and walking 

away from a deal which offered him 

$25 billion for the wall. Was that Herculean? 

Instead, Trump shut down the government 

and asked for $5.7 billion before he 

would re-open it. But the Democratic Party 

called his bluff, and Trump had to re-open 

the government without one penny for his 

wall. Was that Herculean? 

The House and the Senate then got 

together and decided on $1.4 billion for the 

wall. This was in addition to the $1.6 billion 

appropriated the previous year, which 

Trump has still not used. 

You, me, and Trump, might not agree 

with the final dollar amount but this is 

the way government is supposed to work. 

There is over 650 miles of wall built and 

the Democratic Party has contributed 

to this. Under Trump, there have been 

nearly $3 billion appropriated for the wall 

and there can always be more appropriations 

in future years. The only “Herculean 

maneuver” Trump managed was putting 

his Republicans in the position of voting 

against him based on the separation of 

powers as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. 

In the federal government of the United 

States, the power of the purse is vested in 

the Congress as laid down in the Constitution 

of the United States, Article I, Section 

9, Clause 7. 

No matter how any of us Americans feel 

on the issue of the wall, every single one of 

us needs to stand up against this usurpation 

of power by Trump. He is not a dictator. 

Not yet. If the Congress passes a budget 

and Trump gets to turn around and spend 

the money any way he wants, then we will 

have a dictator. This seems to be the Herculean 

maneuver Trump is attempting.

CORRECTIONS: In the article, 

“Wildwood Council votes to censure 

Councilmember Tammy Shea,” [West 

Newsmagazine, March 6] the roll call votes 

of Councilmember Cheryl Jordan [Ward 6] 

and Councilmember Katie Dodwell [Ward 

4] were reversed. Jordan voted against the 

censure of Councilmember Shea; Dodwell 

voted in favor of censure. 

In the Feb. 20 edition of “Sports Briefs,” 

the Parkway South cheerleading team was 

misidentified as an all-girl squad; however, 

the squad has one male teammate. 

West Newsmagazine regrets these errors.

EDITORIAL 

The mathematics of elections 

IN QUOTES 

“The whole world is 

scamming the system.” 

– Rick Singer, the mastermind 

of the college admissions 

bribery scheme 

Here is some simple math: 

Between our two publications [West 

and Mid Rivers newsmagazines] we 

cover about a dozen municipalities on a 

regular basis. Most of the municipalities’ 

primary governing bodies meet twice a 

month. Most of those meetings last about 

two hours. 

That means we are spending more than 

a full work week minding the people’s 

business each and every month – and 

have been for decades. That does not 

include the time spent writing the stories, 

doing follow-up interviews, or researching, 

editing and fact checking content 

before its ready for layout and proofing. 

The vast majority of the time, we are 

the only media in attendance at city 

council and board of aldermen meetings 

or those of fire boards, planning and 

zoning commissions and so on. 

Occasionally, like any business, we 

discuss ways to become more efficient. 

Inevitably the question arises as to 

why we spend so much time, effort and 

money at these governmental meetings. 

Many are available via live stream over 

the internet and, after so many years, we 

know most of the players involved and 

can get the information after the fact. 

The agendas are generally released in 

advance, so we have the ability to pick 

and choose what to attend. 

So why go every week? 

Our managing editor Kate Uptergrove 

has a simple, and utterly compelling, 

answer to this question: “Because when 

we are there, they act differently.” 

She means that an independent media 

is critical to the proper functioning of 

government. The two are intrinsically 

connected. In other words, we are there 

to mind the people’s business. We are 

there because you don’t have time to be. 

We are there because, every so often, 

we hold elections. As a city, district, 

county, state or country, we ask our citizens 

to weigh in on the critical choice as 

to who should represent us in those meetings. 

That job of choosing, of voting, is 

remarkably difficult and the level of difficulty 

is inversely proportionate to the 

size of the office held. In other words, 

you are bombarded with information 

every day about freshman senators from 

far away states, but if you want information 

on your city councilmember you 

have to work a little. 

Now is one of those times when we 

are going to ask you to do a little work, 

prior to doing the difficult job of voting. 

In this issue, you will find our Election 

Preview. We asked all of the contested 

candidates questions. Most, but not all, 

answered those questions, and we have 

printed them in this issue. We do not play 

favorites here. If they responded and are 

running in a contested election, we have 

printed those responses. All candidates, 

contested or not, are, at minimum, listed 

by name in this publication. 

The Election Preview is meant to be a 

guide, not a comprehensive accounting 

of every candidate’s platform. If you still 

have questions after reading the preview, 

please ask them of the candidate. Do not 

be shy, it is their job to answer you. 

After the election is over, we will continue 

to go to meetings every week and 

report on the actions taken by the officials 

you elect. 

Voting is difficult. Local elections 

are difficult. Oftentimes, they can seem 

boring compared to the national contests. 

The reality, however, is that the more 

local an election is, the more day-to-day 

impact it will have on your life. Do the 

work, cast the most informed vote you 

can. 

The math is simple: spend a short time 

informing yourself now, your life gets 

better for the next few years. Get out and 

vote.

BALLWIN 

City reveals comprehensive 

plan draft, seeks resident input 

The city of Ballwin has posted a draft 

of a comprehensive plan for the community 

and is seeking citizen feedback on the 

document. 

Launched early last year, the comprehensive 

plan is the result of numerous meetings 

with a steering committee and local leaders, 

as well as open house sessions, to gain citizen 

input. Surveys and other research also 

went into the document’s preparation. 

The planning document is available for 

review at ballwinsblueprint.com. A link 

to a comment form to provide feedback 

accompanies the draft. 

Plans call for the document to be presented 

at the city’s Planning and Zoning 

Commission meeting at 7 p.m. on April 1. 

Public comments also will be welcome at 

that session. 

Comments by mail should be sent to 

Andy Hixson, Director of Development/ 

Assistant City Administrator, City of Ballwin, 

14811 Manchester Road, Ballwin, 

MO 63011. 

The deadline for submitting comments is 

April 10. 

Input from the Planning and Zoning 

Commission meeting and from citizen 

comments will be reviewed before a final 

draft is submitted to the Ballwin Board 

of Aldermen for its consideration and 

approval. 

The i5Group, a St. Louis planning and 

consulting firm, was in charge of the planning 

effort.

Olympic-style sporting event for men and 

women age 50 and older – is accepting 

applications for athletes and volunteers to 

participate in more than 90 individual and 

team events over Memorial Day Weekend, 

May 23-28. 

The annual event, now in its 40th year, 

involves more than 1,200 athletes, 300 

volunteers and 13 venues across the greater 

St. Louis Metropolitan area. Athletic prowess 

is not a requirement. From basketball 

to bocce to soccer, softball and shuffleboard 

to tap dancing, tennis and track – the 

events are open to everyone, so long as the 

athletes are at least 50 years old. There is 

no maximum age. 

“It’s truly a community-wide event that 

provides something meaningful for everyone 

who participates,” said event director 

Phil Ruben. “We have serious competition, 

friendly games and performances. We have 

volunteer opportunities for all ages. And in



the end, we have recognition, camaraderie 

and enduring friendships, all built around 

the spirit of this great event. The Games 

are a chance for the entire community to 

come together to celebrate the accomplishments 

of our senior athletes.” 

On Thursday, May 23, in celebration of 

the 40th anniversary, a full slate of programming 

is scheduled, including a senior 

Tap Dance exhibition, the AARP Fitness 

Fair and a one-mile, intergenerational 

“Walk of Ages” on the Jewish Community 

Center campus in Creve Coeur. 

Additionally, at 5 p.m., a panel with 

local St. Louis sports personalities, moderated 

by former Chicago sports announcer 

and longtime St. Louis J supporter, Jerry 

Ehrlich, will be held. Included in this panel 

[to date] are longtime St. Louis basketball 

coach, Rich Grawer, and Mark Gorski, 

Olympic Gold Medalist in cycling. The 

panel will discuss their accomplishment in 

sports, healthy aging, and how they continue 

to participate in athletics and fitness. 

The panel discussion is free and open to the 

community.

as an athlete or volunteer, see a complete 

list of events and venues, or get

MANCHESTER 

City approves audit and finance 

committee appointments 

This past November, the Manchester 

Board of Aldermen approved legislation 

that established an audit and finance committee. 

On March 4, at the regular Board of 

Aldermen meeting, the five-member 

appointments were approved. The initial 

appointments will be staggered with two 

members initially appointed for a term of 

one year, ending on Oct. 31, 2019, and the 

balance of members appointed for full twoyear 

terms ending Oct. 31, 2020. Thereafter, 

the terms will be for two years each 

beginning with a Nov. 1 appointment. 

Bill Ward will act as chairman and serve 

two years. Also serving two years will be 

Juli Van Hook and Alderman Rich Baumann. 

Appointed to one-year assignments 

are Peter Bitzer and Alderman Ben Tobin. 

Upon successful completion of their terms, 

there will be an option to renew the committee 

appointments. 

The purpose and duties of the audit and 

finance committee include, but not be limited 

to: 

• Review the annual budget to determine 

if the budget meets statutory requirements 

of the state; that it is based on sound fiscal 

policy; that revenue projections are reasonable; 

that adequate reserves or emergency 

funds are provided; that all financial obligations 

such as bond payments are provided 

and that special funding or reserve 

accounts as provided by the ordinance of 

the city are satisfied; and to make recommendations 

to the mayor and board of 

aldermen as it deems necessary. 

• Consider proposed budget amendments 

during the fiscal year requested by departments 

not included in the budget. The 

committee may make necessary recommendations 

for changes to the mayor and 

city administrator. 

• Review quarterly financial statements 

with the director of finance for budgetary 

control and sound management practices. 

TOWN & COUNTRY 

City joins neighbors in opposing 

Better Together plan 

At the regular Town & Country Board 

of Aldermen meeting on Monday, March 

11, a resolution was unanimously passed 

in support of the efforts of the Municipal 

League of Metro St. Louis as it relates to 

addressing the recently released St. Louis 

City-County merger plan. 

Proposed by Better Together, the plan 

could go to a statewide vote in November 

2020, an action that the Municipal League 

and local communities oppose. Instead, the 

Municipal League has proposed forming a 

Board of Freeholders as authorized by the 

Missouri Constitution to ensure that the 

vote stays within St. Louis City and County. 

The Town & Country measure affirms

the opposition of the mayor and board to 

any reorganization plan that could eliminate 

or greatly restrict local government 

and citizen input, or results in the reduction 

of the quality of services and living 

conditions provided to Town & Country 

residents. 

City considers writing a 

book on city’s history 

A coffee-table-style history book about 

Town & Country is in the early stages 

of discussion. A resolution was passed 

at the regular Board of Aldermen meeting 

on March 11 that authorizes the city 

administrator to solicit proposals from 

publishing companies to help determine 

feasibility. 

Alderman Skip Mange [Ward 1] initiated 

the book, which would combine the 

writing efforts of the city and the Town & 

Country Historical Society. Residents and 

other stakeholders would be invited to contribute 

as well. 

Mange’s general vision for the book is a 

gloss publication that includes both black 

and white and color images. After speaking 

with two preliminary editing and publishing 

companies, the project is estimated 

to cost around $20,000 with 500 printed 

copies. 

Mange developed an outline of the contents, 

which include the history of the city 

prior to 1950, a timeline of major events, 

the formation of Town & Country Village 

and its transition to the city of Town 

& Country and its annexations. The book 

also would include the history of city parks 

and recreation amenities, commercial and 

city department developments, churches 

and schools, as well as a look at the various 

societies and clubs that make up Town 

& Country. 

In all, the book could potentially have 

over 20 different sections and provide a 

comprehensive look at the city. 

At the work session prior to the March 11 

meeting, Mange suggested that book sales 

could recoup the expenses for the publication 

of the book. 

City to move forward with 

public works audit 

An ordinance was introduced at the 

regular Town & Country Board of Aldermen 

meeting on Monday, March 11 that 

would authorize the city to enter into an 

agreement with Management Partners, 

Inc. for professional auditing services 

of the city’s Planning & Public Works 

department. 

The audit was approved in February, and 

the city administrator was authorized to 

solicit bids. Six proposals were received 

prior to the February deadline, and 

Management Partners, Inc. was 

deemed to be the company most experienced 

with local government audits. 

The original budget for the audit 

was slated for $12,500, but the actual 

cost to the city will be $35,550, an 

increase of $23,050 that will be appropriated 

from the general fund. A final 

vote authorizing the contract between 

the city and Management Partners, 

Inc. will take place on March 25. 

South Mason Road trail 

project enters final design 

An ordinance was introduced at the 

regular Town & Country Board of 

Aldermen meeting on March 11 that 

authorizes a work order with Wood. 

Inc. for the final design services 

related to the South Mason Road trail 

project. 

The project was delayed this fall 

when it was determined that final plans 

submitted by the engineering firm had 

never been approved. There were numerous 

issues, some dating back to 2017, that 

needed to be addressed before the project 

could move forward. 

Wood, Inc. has provided a work order 

in the amount of $18,940 to complete the 

drawings and has expended an additional 

$2,950 in design work. 

The appropriations for the $21,890 project 

will be up for a final vote at the board’s 

March 25 meeting. 

Area youth join forces on 

collective art project 

For the sixth year in a row, the St. Louis 

Science Center hosted the CANStruction 

project in collaboration with Interfaith 

Quest and Bal Vihar of St. Louis. The 

resulting one-of-a-kind mural is now on 

display near the OMNIMAX theater in the 

Science Center through March 26. 

The theme of the mural – “Play Together 

- Live Together” – is inspired by the GAM- 

EXploration exhibit at the center. The cans 

used in the display will be donated to Operation 

Food Search after March 26 serving 

an additional goal of helping those in need. 

Schnucks Markets supported the project 

through canned food donations. 

The structure is put together using 

approximately 2,000 food cans, which are 

chosen based on the colors and layout of 

the labels printed on them. 

On Feb. 24, 40 youths from Christian, 

Hindu, Jewish and Muslim faiths came 

together to create the display at the Science 

Center. It took over eight hours to 

complete the mural. 

Throughout the day, the teens worked in 

multiple groups. As one group was busy 

assembling the mural, others were engaged

in inter-faith conversation and sharing 

their experiences. They explored alignment 

between their religions and discussed 

the texts from their holy books that share 

the same messages across. They learned 

that there are lot more similarities in their 

culture and teaching than the differences 

between their faiths. 

Organizers say great camaraderie, harmony, 

hard work and commitment was on 

full display throughout the evening. 

“The theme of ‘Play Together - Live 

Together’ really talks about making 

choices in life to include everyone and to 

be kind to all because in life there is always 

room for more friends,” said Shoba Shekar, 

community projects coordinator at Bal 

Vihar. “Through the CANStruction project, 

youths in their teens interact with others 

that may look different but still share the 

same hopes, dreams, fears, challenges and 

mutual respect. 

“What a wonderful way to give back to 

the community through the can donations 

and to partner with the St. Louis Science 

Center, a place we can all come to play 

together.” 

MISSOURI 

Panel formed to 

explore Hyperloop 

House Speaker Elijah Haahr has 

announced the formation of a special Blue 

Ribbon Panel on Hyperloop. 

The Blue Ribbon Panel, chaired by 

Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe, will present recommendations 

to the Speaker regarding 

how to establish Missouri as the global 

epicenter for research and development 

of the core hyperloop technology as well 

as strategies that could accelerate construction 

of the proposed Kansas City- 

Columbia-St. Louis route. 

“This project represents a transformational 

economic development opportunity 

for Missouri,” Haahr said. “Already, hundreds 

of millions of people around the 

world have read about our state’s leadership 

in this area. Historically, Missouri 

funded the first transatlantic flight, laid the 

first miles of the U.S. Interstate Highway 

system, and provided the technology and 

manufacturing expertise that launched 

humanity into space. Building the first 

Hyperloop in North America is a natural 

extension of that legacy. We have a real 

opportunity to serve as a gateway to the 

future of transportation.” 

Members of the Blue Ribbon Panel 

include Sen. Caleb Rowden, Sen. Brian 

Williams, Rep. Travis Fitzwater, Rep. 

Derek Grier, Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, 

Director of Economic Development Rob 

Dixon, University of Missouri President 

Mun Choi, as well as a number of private 

sector leaders and subject matter experts 

from around the state. 

“I look forward to working with the 

Speaker, members of the legislature, and 

the Blue Ribbon Panel to help advance 

this project,” said Kehoe, a long-time 

champion of Missouri’s transportation and 

infrastructure assets. 

Over the next several months, the Panel 

will hold public meetings in St. Louis, Jefferson 

City and Kansas City. The group 

will present its findings to the Speaker in 

September. 

“This is a chance for Missouri to position 

itself as a global tech leader,” said Blue 

Ribbon Panel vice-chair Andrew Smith of 

the St. Louis Regional Chamber. “Bringing 

this technology to Missouri would serve as 

a powerful talent magnet and a significant 

boost for our technology, logistics and 

manufacturing sectors.”

I believe it is important to be involved 

in your community to keep it a safe and 

great place to live. If elected, I will strive 

to promote new businesses in our community, 

I will continue to support the 

zero property tax and real estate tax rate; 

encourage responsible, well-planned residential 

and commercial development and 

redevelopment; continue street and neighborhood 

improvements; and maintain our 

safe neighborhoods. I will be a direct line 

of communication for our residents.

I have been an active resident of Ballwin 

for 39 years. My wife, Paula, and I 

have been married for 32 years and are the 

proud parents of three grown children. I 

am a commissioner on the Ballwin Planning 

and Zoning Commission for the past 

nine-plus years. I am a member of the Holy 

Infant Knights of Columbus and a licensed 

REALTOR with Stockell Realty. 

Carleen R. Kramer 

My top priorities include retaining and 

adding new businesses to the Manchester 

Road corridor; and continuing to utilize 

federal funds for street improvements and 

upgrading sidewalks to ADA standards. 

As a large municipality, Ballwin should 

continue to have a full-time city engineer 

for the public’s best interest. I will work 

in opposition to City-County merger and 

expand senior citizens activities and services. 

• • • 

I served 35 years as a volunteer with the 

Girl Scouts in leadership positions at the 

neighborhood, district and council levels.

If I am elected, I will review the city of 

Ballwin’s emergency plan to make sure 

it is adequate and up-to-date. I will work 

with first responders on how we can make 

our city even more prepared for any emergency. 

I also will work to make infrastructure 

improvements and inquire into how 

to improve the congestion on Manchester 

Road. I will continue the great work that 

has been done in the past with our parks 

and services. I will work to lower the sales 

tax rate on a purchase of a vehicle from 9 

to 7 percent. Lastly, I will stop any attempt 

at further compensation or raises for local 

government positions in Ballwin.

I am proud to be in the city of Ballwin. It 

is a highly diverse, wonderful community 

with fantastic parks and amenities, large 

and small businesses, and a very professional 

fire and police staff. I believe that the 

government’s first priority is to protect its 

citizens. A government’s second duty is to 

provide services to its citizens. 


Mark R.Stallmann* 


Jim Leahy* 


Ross Bullington* 

As your alderman, I will continue to support 

economic development while keeping 

unnecessary regulations and barriers from 

blocking advancement. I will ensure that 

Ballwin maintains our status as one of the 

few areas in St. Louis County without a 

local property tax. As your alderman, I will 

continue to work for outstanding municipal 

services, including our great parks and 

recreational areas, top rated police force, 

and ongoing improvements to our streets. 

I will work toward the betterment of the St. 

Louis region, but oppose efforts that would 

lower the quality and raise the costs of services 

received by Ballwin citizens.

I am currently an alderman for Ballwin’s 

Ward 4. I have lived in Ballwin for over 40

a member of Holy Infant Church. I am a 

trustee for my subdivision. Please vote to 

re-elect Bullington for Ballwin. 

Richard Boerner 

The Board of Aldermen needs to reassess 

its priorities and put the long-term needs 

of the citizens first instead of vice versa. It 

is the role of the board to assure that the 

city has provided enough information to 

make informed decisions and accordingly 

act on behalf of citizens without being a 

rubber stamp. Unlike my opponent, I will 

not refuse to talk to any resident and I will 

retain my listed phone number. My current 

priorities include default on the Town 

Center bonds, unfunded pension obligations, 

and risk and impact of a St. Louis 

City and County merger.

CHESTERFIELD 

Ward 1 Councilmember 

Barbara McGuinness* 


Ben Kumar Keathley* 

The residents of Chesterfield are my top 

priority. We must encourage responsible 

development that does not encroach on our 

neighborhoods. Larger projects should be 

kept away from our neighborhoods and 

placed in the urban core to revitalize the 

area surrounding Chesterfield Mall. Serving 

our residents also requires that we 

maintain our top-ranked police department 

and continue improving our nationally 

accredited parks system. Attracting 

more economic activity should not mean 

sacrificing our home values or wasting tax 

payer money that can be better used for 

improving services for our residents.

I have lived in Eureka for 18 years, am a 

small business owner and have a great deal 

of experience with development issues, 

government and management. I am running 

because I have background and skills 

that the city needs at this important time of 

growth and change. My top priorities will 

be leading the Eureka opposition to the St. 

Louis City-County merger, improving the 

quality of our water, improving our flood 

protections, building the Allenton bridge 

and building the new police building. 

• • • 

I am a small business owner [I build 

houses] and an attorney. I have also worked 

with nonprofit organizations [I was the 

president of the St. Louis Home Builders 

Association in 2010], and have a great deal 

of experience working with governmental 

agencies on the city, county, state and federal 

levels. I believe this experience with business, 

law and government puts me in a strong 

position to represent Eureka as its mayor. 

Ken Patterson 

Eureka has floodwater problems; 2015 

and 2017 were not fun. As mayor, I would 

work to address flooding issues and grow 

our city to create more revenue. Our city 

needs a new bridge over two existing sets 

of railroad tracks at Allenton Road. The 

true cost of this is unknown. The area over 

that bridge is hot, hot, hot for jobs and jobs 

pay taxed to the city, county, state and U.S. 

Our police need help in delivering protection 

to Eureka. I have been working over 

the years to have Jefferson County help 

build a new connection interstate from I-44 

to I-55. 

• • • 

I am a veteran. I have worked for a variety 

of corporations including for Western

Louis Community college and from 2007- 

2010 I sold real estate locally. 

Steve Grzyb* 

I believe the citizens of Eureka deserve 

and are ready for new leadership, bringing 

change that is long overdue. As mayor I will 

commit to developing a new city government 

based on transparency and account 

ability; one that listens and has a vision. I 

will focus on the issues I have been fighting 

for as alderman since day one: better water 

quality, roads-traffic control, flood management, 

economic development, long-term 

planning and preserving Eureka’s right to 

self-government! With the right leadership 

and resources we have the opportunity to 

shape Eureka into an even better place in 

which to live and raise our families.

Wildwood Council debates city logo, trademark usage 

@WESTNEWSMAG 


By JEFFREY BRICKER 

The Wildwood City Council meeting on 

March 11 was another evening of accusations, 

political posturing and personal 

attacks. Despite the promise of a potentially 

productive night after a cordial and 

cooperative council work session, once the 

clock passed 7 p.m., the temperature of the 

dais dropped considerably. 

At the previous meeting on Feb. 25, a 

divided council approved a resolution of 

censure against Councilmember Tammy 

Shea [Ward 3]. The resolution brought 

by Councilmember Greg Stine [Ward 7] 

capped off a meeting that did not end until 

nearly midnight, and despite comments 

from several councilmembers, any hope 

that the action against Shea would signal 

the end of council’s infighting quickly vanished. 

“With all due respect, I know you are a 

doctor, I’m just glad you’re a better doctor 

than an attorney or we’d have people walking 

around here with their feet sewn on 

backward,” Councilmember Steve Taylor 

[Ward 4] said in response to accusations 

against Mayor Jim Bowlin brought forward 

by Councilmember John Gragnani 

[Ward 1]. 

[Left to right] Wildwood City Attorney John Young, Mayor Jim Bowlin and City Co-Administrator 

Steve Cross listen to a heated debate over the use of the city logo. 

Taylor’s comments came amid a debate 

over the proper use of the city’s logo, 

motto and other items protected by copyright. 

They were met with groans and gasps 

from the audience and rebuke by some 

councilmembers. According to Taylor, he 

later offered an apology for his remarks to 

Gragnani and the council. 

The original complaint against Bowlin, 

brought forward by a member of the 

public and placed on the March 11 meeting 

agenda by Gragnani, was over the mayor’s 

use of protected images, including the city 

logo, in an email on Jan. 19. The email was 

sent to Ward 6 residents and contained an 

invitation to meet with the mayor on Feb. 

14 at Wildwood City Hall. 

Gragnani asked the council to affirm the 

city’s policy, adopted in 2005, on the “use 

of city logos or copyrighted materials.” 

“Is it your intent that city officials would 

not be allowed to use the logo in relation 

to city meetings?” Bowlin asked Gragnani. 

“The answer to your question is that if 

it’s a legitimate city meeting, then the city 

has the right to its own logo,” Gragnani 

responded. “But if it’s not a legitimate city 

meeting, then you [Bowlin] don’t have a 

right to the logo.” 

The central issue was whether the Feb. 

14 event was a meeting of official city 

business or something else. Although 

Bowlin argued that under any reasonable 

interpretation of the policy, the mayor has 

the purview to use city logos to advertise 

a public meeting, the email in question led 

some councilmembers to believe the meeting 

did not reflect the mayor acting in an 

official capacity. 

“What the mayor did certainly violates 

the policy,” Councilmember Tim Woerther 

[Ward 7] said. “The fact of the matter is, 

the policy needs to be affirmed.” 

The proposed agenda for the meeting, 

as listed in the text of the Jan. 19 email, 

included the new trash collection and 

recycling plan; planned residential overlay 

district [PRD] changes affecting three-acre 

minimums; rural internet program developments; 

a Wildwood 2020 Vision Plan

Pickleball aficionados, hoopsters, volleyball 

players and others using the gymnasium 

at The Pointe will need to call an 

extended timeout this summer. 

From Monday, July 29, through Friday, 

Aug. 16, the gym will be closed while the 

floor is sanded down to bare wood and the 

surface is refinished and re-striped. The 

fitness and community center will remain 

open during the three-week period and 

other activities will continue. 

According to John Hoffman, interim 

director of parks and recreation, the typical 

interval for gym floor refinishing is every 

seven to eight years. The upcoming work 

will be the first for the gym floor at The 

Pointe since its opening in 1996. 

A small number of companies do most 

of the floor refinishing at area high schools 

and colleges, Hoffman said. Professional 

Floors of St. Louis, Inc. was the only 

bidder on The Pointe project with a price 

of $28,314 for a four-week job. Getting the 

work done in three weeks boosted the total 

to $33,650. 

With $32,500 earmarked for the work in 

the 2019 budget, Hoffman recommended 

the four-week time frame. But Mayor Tim 

Pogue asked the Ballwin Board of Aldermen 

to consider the shorter period because 

it would be less of an inconvenience to 

those who use the gym regularly. 

The aldermen agreed and the three-week 

proposal received unanimous approval.

The message also included a commentary 

on term limits where it was noted 

that “Our Planning & Zoning Commission 

has a Ward 7 holdover who’s been on 

the Commission for 11 years.” While not 

explicitly named in the text, it was clear 

Bowlin was referring to Planning and 

Zoning Commission Chair Rick Archeski. 

Bowlin has made four unsuccessful 

attempts to replace Archeski in the past. 

Archeski is a holdover on the commission 

who was “grandfathered” in despite 

term limit rules passed after his initial 

appointment. Bowlin’s latest attempt to 

replace Archeski was at the Feb. 25 council 

meeting. 

Shea pointed out that the mayor’s 

message was not sent from a city email 

account but from the mayor’s personal 

email. When asked about this point 

later by a reporter, Bowlin said he used 

a personal email list of Ward 6 residents 

that came from a personally held email 

account. 

“Any email sent by me from any email 

address concerning city business is maintained 

for public disclosure, per applicable 

requirements,” Bowlin said. 

After more than 20 minutes of debate, 

the motion offered by Gragnani to affirm 

the city’s standing policy on logo and 

trademark usage passed unanimously. No 

specific actions were taken by the council 

against Bowlin. 

In comments provided to the media the 

following day, Bowlin characterized what 

transpired as “wasteful.” 

“Our logo belongs to all Wildwood 

residents – not just a select few who were 

entrenched and want to use it as a weapon 

to control elected officials,” Bowlin said.

Ballwin finance director outlines possible city-county merger impact 

By JIM ERICKSON 

The Ballwin Board of Aldermen heard 

an analysis and views on the impact of the 

proposed City-County merger on the city, 

but both presentations emphasized that 

questions remain for which there are yet 

no sure answers. 

During a finance committee session 

preceding the board’s March 11 meeting, 

Denise Keller, the city’s finance director, 

examined budget-related issues likely to 

develop from the merger. During the later 

public comment period, St. Louis County 

Councilmember Mark Harder [R-District 

7], who also is a former Ballwin alderman, 

weighed in on the merits of the Board 

of Freeholders’ approach backed by the 

Municipal League of Metro St. Louis. 

Some provisions in the Better Together 

petition calling for a statewide vote 

next year on merging St. Louis City and 

County are not entirely clear, Keller told 

the committee. 

“We are shooting at a moving target and 

some of the numbers we think are correct 

today could be different six months 

from now,” added Bob Kuntz, interim city 

administrator. 

With sales and other taxes, permits, 

fines, and some or most income from 

other sources going into the coffers of the 

proposed “metro city,” revenues remaining 

in the Ballwin “municipal district” 

would be about a third of what they are 

now, Keller said. 

Using 2019 budget figures for comparison, 

Keller said total revenues would 

plummet from just over $20 million 

to under $6.9 million. One bit of good 

news, she added, is that Ballwin would 

keep accumulated balances in its various 

budget funds. 

Among the functions and services the 

metro city would handle either immediately 

or when the new government 

structure was ready to do so are policing, 

public works, the municipal court and 

code enforcement. 

One step Ballwin could take if remaining 

revenues proved inadequate is to 

reinstitute a property tax. Voters have 

approved a levy of up to 27 cents per 

$100 assessed valuation but the city has 

not used that source for 32 years. 

Even if the tax were implemented, the 

revenue generated would not be a financial 

lifesaver, city officials observed. 

The committee agreed with a suggestion 

from Alderman Frank Fleming [Ward 

3], who heads the finance group, that city 

officials investigate any strategies Ballwin 

could use to protect its assets. 

Harder said he is “making the rounds” 

of all municipalities in his district urging 

city officials and residents to read the 

Better Together petition the organization 

has filed with the state calling for the City- 

County merger if the required number 

of signatures is met statewide to put the 

issue on the November 2020 ballot. 

The county council member predicted 

reading the document will make a big 

difference in how the proposal is viewed. 

The Board of Freeholders’ approach to 

determine any changes in city-county government 

structure already is in the state 

constitution, Harder continued. However, 

the Better Together proposal was 

developed by a small group of people not 

elected for that job, who didn’t have any 

experience as elected officials and who 

came up with their plan in closed-door 

sessions with no public oversight, he said. 

Harder predicted that if the signatures 

needed to authorize appointment of a 

Board of Freeholders are gathered in St. 

Louis City and County, the Board will 

come up with a plan to make local government 

more efficient while not calling 

for a complete merger. 

Any such plan would be subject to voter 

approval in those two jurisdictions, as 

opposed to a statewide vote on the Better 

Together proposal. 

Harder said yard signs and bumper 

stickers declaring “No voice, no merger” 

are available to anyone wanting to support 

the effort to appoint a Board of 

Freeholders and to oppose the Better 

Together plan.

Oak Brook Elementary joined in a Skype 

interview with Cressida Cowell, the author 

of “How to Train Your Dragon.” She 

talked about character development and 

what inspired the plot of her stories. The

Top spellers in the school 

Chesterfield Day School [CDS] held its 

second-through-sixth-grade Spelling Bee 

in January. 

This year’s winner was Woobin Joo and 

the runner up was Kennedy Ituen. Thirdplace 

winner was Grant Klasing. Eleven 

additional participants demonstrated not 

only the ability to spell challenging words 

but also perseverance through 11 rounds, 

resulting in a winner. Those students include 

Athreya Arvind, Lucy Black, Max Black, 

Kieran Creeth, Veronica Galiano, Allison 

Honold, James Kelly, Sawyer Mandel, 

Daisy Vidal, Liam Watson and Sean Widel. 

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King 

during Black History month 

In honor of Black History Month, Wildwood 

Middle hosted a traveling acting 

troupe from the Virginia Repertory Theater 

on March 5. 

The group presented a performance 

about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

“We give students an idea of what Dr. 

King’s life was like growing up,” Sydnee 

Graves, an actress, said. “We want them 

to know what led to the ‘I Have a Dream’ 

speech, and what shaped his beliefs and 

made Dr. King want to fight for freedom 

and justice for all.” 

“I thought because it was close to Black 

History Month it would be great,” said 

Twylaa Taylor, a Wildwood social worker 

who helped organize the event. “Our students 

supported the idea. We wanted to host 

a performance they could see and discuss.”

Twin Oak Eagles soar in front 

of Enterprise Center crowd 

The boys of the Twin Oaks Christian 

School Eagles enjoyed a memorable sendoff 

that will last a lifetime. 

The boys got to play on the court at the 

Enterprise Center during the halftime of a 

Missouri Valley Conference tournament 

game between Evansville and Illinois State. 

“The boys were so excited to be at the 

Enterprise Center,” coach Brad Brasfield 

said. “We usually play in front of 30 to 

50 spectators and probably only one other 

tournament have we played in front of 100 

fans. On that night, they played in front of 

thousands of people!” 

Brasfield said the team hit many college 

distance and two NBA distance 3-pointers 

that night. 

“We put a priority on offense for the 

exhibition and the boys were all smiles and 

again showed a great attitude of teamwork 

and the heart of Christ making sure everyone 

had a chance to score,” Brasfield said. 

“This was the last time they got to play 

together as a team and, though it was an 

inter-squad game, they really played well 

all together helping one another out.” 

The eighth grade team went undefeated 

at 10-0 in its division and ended up 11-2 

overall on the year. 

Brasfield has coached this team for six 

years along with assistant coach Gregg 

Renz. Jacob Renz also started coaching 

over the last two seasons. 

“Most of the boys started together in third 

Twin Oaks Eagles at the Enterprise Center 

grade and some have played either with or 

against each other since first grade before 

CYC even started,” Brasfield said. “We 

set our team goal to win our division and 

thought we might have an outside chance 

at going undefeated. We won our division 

last year going 7-3, and many of the same 

teams were in our division this year but 

several teams were also new to us so we 

weren’t sure.” 

Brasfield said he enjoyed being with the 

boys for their final season before going off 

to play in high schools around the area. 

“We have 10 kids going to six different 

high schools next year,” Brasfield said. 

“This has been a great group of kids 

to coach. They all work very hard and it 

shows in practice and the little things they 

do well. We have learned five different 

offenses over the years and use them all as 

well as playing man-to-man defense and 

several different zones and presses. This 

year, the guards would call the plays and 

defenses themselves. It was also nice to 

have two teams of five not only for practice 

but in games. 

“The two groups would change halfway 

through each quarter and it was like you 

had to play against two different teams. I 

think it made us hard to prepare for. We 

have had to deal with adversity, discipline 

issues along the way and success. The 

boys are a very good basketball team, but 

they are even better people, and we have 

CBC wins Class 4 state 

wrestling championship 

CBC coach Cornell Robinson knew he 

had another good group of wrestlers this 

season. He also was realistic. 

The Cadets lost three state champions in 

Cevion Severado, Malik Johnson and DJ 

Shannon from the first CBC state championship 

team. 

“We knew who wasn’t going to be here 

but that’s what happens in high school 

sports,” Robinson said. “Kids graduate. 

The next group comes in and you work 

with them.” 

Robinson and his coaching staff put in 

the time and the Cadets put in the work. 

The result was another Class 4 state championship. 

The Cadets finished with 169.5 

points to make it back-to-back titles at the 

Mizzou Arena in Columbia. 

“I’m really enjoying the state championship,” 

Robinson said. “This one was real 

sweet. We weren’t picked to win it. We had 

a lot of guys who never placed before at 

the state tournament. That’s the unknown 

with guys who’ve not been there. How will 

they react to that big stage and what will 

they do? 

“They came through and showed up 

when it came time to show up. I’m really 

proud of them. We have a talented … hard 

working group. The team chemistry was 

really good this year.” 

CBC produced four individual state 

champions this winter. That tied last year’s 

total of Cadets finishing first in their weight 

classes. 

Junior Joshua Saunders made it threefor-three. 

He earned his third championship 

with a 10-3 decision over Staley’s 

Aidan Johnson at 152 pounds.





I SPORTS I 23 

The other three state champions were 

senior Kyle Prewitt [145] and sophomores 

Vinnie Zerban [132] and Wyatt Henson 

[138] captured their first high school titles. 

Prewitt [38-3] now is a three-time medalist. 

He placed sixth as a sophomore. As a 

junior, he came in fourth. 

Zerban [43-3] won his first state championship. 

He won 17-2 by technical fall 

over Jaylen Carson, of Lafayette. It was a 

rematch of the district championship match. 

Henson [33-6] also won his first state 

title over a wrestler he defeated in the district 

finals. Henson moved here from Pennsylvania. 

He placed fifth in Pennsylvania 

last year. 

Whitfield wins Class 1 state 

wrestling title again 

The Whitfield Warriors won the Class 1 

state championship under coach Charlie 

Sherertz for the third year in a row. 

The Warriors finished first with 192 

points to claim the Missouri Class 1 wrestling 

crown at Mizzou Arena. Seneca was a 

distant second at 126.5. 

The score of 192 points was Whitfield’s 

second best total at state. The 2018 team 

recorded 240 points to earn its crown. 

It also was the eighth title overall, since 

2008, under Sherertz, who was happy to see 

his program earn another championship. 

“It was important for a lot of reasons 

to me,” Sherertz said. “I mean half of the 

team was new. It means a lot to me because 

we know we are the program at Whitfield 

that has won the most state titles. Soccer 

has seven. Selfishly, eight is the same 

number of state titles my father had won 

in Missouri.” 

His father, Charlie Sherertz Sr., coached 

at McCluer North and Northwest. Before 

coming to Missouri, he coached squads to 

four team titles in Nebraska. 

The Warriors, who sent 12 grapplers to 

state, scored two individual championships. 

Five others finished second in their 

weight classes. Two others came in third. 

Freshman Evan Binder won at 106 

pounds. He beat Levi Connelly, of Seneca, 

2-0. Binder finished with a 38-7 record. 

At 120 pounds, sophomore Logan Ferrero 

[38-6] won his second state title. He won 

state as a freshman at 106 last season and 

jumped to 120. Ferrero scored a 3-2 decision 

over Lucas Laux, of Fatima. 

Whitfield had three runner-up finishes 

from its other freshmen: Jason Shaw at 113, 

Chase Brock at 160 and Evan Miley at 220. 

De Smet Jesuit coach 

enters Hall of Fame 

De Smet Jesuit basketball coach Kent 

Williams has entered the Missouri Valley 

Whitfield Warriors, Class 1 wrestling champions 

Conference Hall of Fame. 

Williams, who played at Southern Illinois 

University, and five fellow inductees were 

honored March 8 when the league conducted 

its annual Hall of Fame ceremony 

as part of the State Farm Missouri Valley 

Conference Men’s Basketball Championship. 

Williams, a 2003 Southern Illinois University 

graduate, scored 2,012 points from 

1999 to 2003, making him the Salukis’ 

second-leading scorer of all-time. He is 

the only player in SIU history to lead the 

team in scoring four straight years, helping 

his team to the NCAA Tournament in 2002 

and 2003, including a run to the NCAA 

Sweet Sixteen in 2002. 

[Whitfield photo] 

The Mt. Vernon, Illinois, native, who is 

also the career scoring leader at his high 

school, was inducted into the SIU Athletic 

Hall of Fame in 2009. 

In addition to ranking second on the alltime 

SIU scoring chart, Williams is second 

in career 3-pointers made with 249, sixth in 

career 3-point percentage at .392, second in 

career free throws made with 479, eighth in 

career assists with 352, tops in career games 

started with 130 and the school’s record 

holder for most career minutes played. 

Prior to coaching at De Smet, Williams 

had served as an assistant at SIU-Edwardsville, 

Tennessee, Missouri State and as 

a supervisor of basketball operations at 

Purdue.

A state championship in hand, De Smet 

Jesuit senior Cory Peterson is setting his 

sights on something even higher. 

“This offseason starting March 28 in 

Virginia Beach, I will attempt to capture a 

national championship,” Peterson said. 

Peterson capped a perfect 39-0 season 

recently when he scored a 4-3 decision 

over Belton’s undefeated senior Andrew 

Cory Peterson 

Gable at the Missouri Wrestling Championship 

at Mizzou Arena. Peterson won the 

Class 4 160-pound weight class. 

Peterson will compete in the 30th annual 

National High School Coaches Association 

Nationals. Peterson will be in competition 

against the top seniors in the country. 

“I love winning and all, but I learn a 

lot more when I lose,” Peterson said. “I 

would’ve loved to face top guys in the 

country this season so I could’ve seen 

holes in my game, but I will do that for 

sure in Virginia Beach.” 

Peterson became the second undefeated 

wrestler at De Smet. Ed Prendergast compiled 

a 46-0 mark for the Spartans when he 

won a state championship in 2004 before 

going to wrestle in college at the Naval 

Academy. 

Peterson also became the eighth overall 

individual champion at De Smet and first 

since Prendergast’s 2004 title. 

“It’s awesome to finish undefeated,” 

Peterson said. “I went into every match 

with the same mindset and I also used the 

same warm-up for every competition. It’s 

tough, but taking it one match at a time 

makes it a whole lot easier.” 

The regular season “went great,” Peterson 

said. 

@WESTNEWSMAG 


De Smet’s Cory Peterson caps 

undefeated season with state title 

“I felt good all season, physically and 

mentally,” Peterson said. “My main highlight 

was breaking the De Smet wrestling 

individual win record for career wins the 

night before Senior Night.” 

Coach Aedryan Cox said Peterson 

showed what he could do this season 

before the postseason rolled around. 

“Cory had a fantastic regular season, and 

consistently looked dominant,” Cox said. 

“I always know that Cory is going to put 

forth his best effort when he steps on the 

mat, and it shows.” 

Peterson won the District 2 meet title 

with a 13-4 major decision over Francis 

Howell Central’s Jonathan Floyd. 

At state, Peterson won his first match by 

fall over Tommy Hagan, of Lafayette, in 

51 seconds. His match in the quarterfinals 

was even quicker. Peterson won by fall over 

Jefferson City’s Will Berendzen in 15 seconds. 

In the semifinals, Peterson won a 15-4 

majority decision over Liberty’s Wentric 

Williams. 

“I never really looked past the current 

match I was on. My coaches and I knew 

that Wentric was coming into the match 

with a lot of momentum after knocking off 

CBC [a win in sudden victory over Will 

Edgar], so we just stuck with our mindset 

of going out there and dominating,” Peterson 

said. “I was happy with some takedowns 

I had in the match. I felt I should’ve 

pushed the pace more than I did, but at the 

state tournament, you win and move on.” 

Peterson had been in the championship 

match once before when he was a 

sophomore. He lost a 7-4 decision at 160 

to CBC’s DJ Shannon, who finished undefeated 

at 49-0. 

Peterson was facing another undefeated 

wrestler this time in Gable. 

“I knew Andrew was a very accomplished 

wrestler, but I was super calm and 

confident coming into the match,” Peterson 

said. “I had never wrestled Gable before, 

but in the offseason I had wrestled all over 

the country and dominated multiple-time 

state champs just like Gable. 

“It was a matter of going out there and 

getting to my offense.” 

When he won that final meet, his teammates 

were happy for him and he was 

happy for himself. 

“This is a life-long dream for me,” Peterson 

said. “I had been dreaming of this 

since my eighth-grade year. I wish I had 

won it earlier but I wouldn’t change a thing 

as of now. 

“My teammates and I were super excited. 

They were slapping me on my back and lifting 

me up, it was just an awesome moment 

with some awesome people.”

CARDINALS SALUTE 2019 25 


2019 ST. LOUIS CARDINALS 

SEASON PREVIEW 

88, 83, 86. Those are the Cardinals win 

totals over the last three seasons, seasons 

in which they did not reach the playoffs. 

100, 90, 97. Those are the Cardinals 

win totals over the preceding three seasons, 

seasons in which they won the 

National League Central division. 

On average, that places the difference 

between a third-place finish in the division 

and a first-place finish at 9.5 wins. 

Over the course of a six-month season, 

that means one extra win about every 

three weeks is the difference between 

playoffs and no playoffs. The big question 

facing us as we look ahead at the 

2019 St. Louis Cardinals is this: Did they 

get 9.5 wins better? 

To answer that question, we need to 

look at a few things. First, we need to 

gauge if the new players in the Cardinals 

everyday lineup are better or worse than 

the players they are replacing. Second, 

we need to look at the coaching staff and 

ask a similar question. Third, we need to 

look at the rest of the division and determine 

if those teams have gotten better or 

worse. 

THE PLAYERS 

Let’s start by looking at the Cardinals 

projected opening day lineup. Catcher, 

second base, shortstop and the two 

corner outfield spots all will be filled 

by the same players as last year. On the 

infield, the consistency is very welcome 

news. In the outfield, not so much. The 

projections for left fielder Marcell Ozuna 

and right fielder Dexter Fowler are dramatically 

different than they were a year 

ago. We need bounce back years from 

both players in order to get our coveted 

9.5 new wins. 

In center field, youngster Harrison 

Bader inherited the starting role from 

Tommy Pham in mid-2018, after Pham 

was traded. Bader is an exciting talent 

and an exceptional defender, but he needs 

to prove he can hit big league pitching 

consistently if we can expect him to add 

a plus in our projected wins column. 

The infield is super interesting. Redbirds 

fans, you are going to love, love, 

love Paul Goldschmidt, who has seemed 

destined to end up a Cardinal his entire 

career. He is an understated superstar with 

hall-of-fame-caliber individual skills and 

a team-first attitude. Technically, Goldschmidt 

replaces Matt Carpenter, who, in 

turn, replaces Jedd Gyorko. So the question 

here is “How much better is Goldschmidt 

than Gyorko?” The answer is “a 

lot.” Is he 9.5 wins better? Probably not, 

but it’s pretty close. 

The pitching staff is made up of two 

high-end starters [Mikolas and Flaherty], 

a flame-throwing youngster [Hicks], a 

formerly flame-throwing oldster [Miller] 

and a whole bunch of high-quality question 

marks. The fact is, there are no 

more guaranteed stars on major league 

pitching staffs. The Cardinals approach, 

apparently, is to have about five possible 

answers to every question on their pitching 

staff. 

THE COACHES 

Maybe the biggest opening day difference 

between last year and this year 

is the man standing on the top step of 

the dugout. Mike Shildt replaced Mike 

Matheny as manager mid-year last 

season, and the results were promising. 

Shildt was developed through the Cardinals 

system, so the front office power 

structure knows him incredibly well. 

At a high level, Shildt just seems like 

more of a “modern” manager than Mike 

Matheny ever did. He uses advanced 

metrics, he employs the shift, he actively 

and aggressively manages his bullpen – 

all traits of the new generation of baseball 

coaches. Matheny relied a lot on gut 

instinct, Shildt is more of a numbers guy. 

While that does not necessarily mean he 

will be more successful, it does mean he 

will be more consistent, more predictable. 

Over a 162-game season, consistency 

matters a great deal. 

Another key change to the coaching 

staff is the addition of Jeff Albert as hit-

CARDINALS PREVIEW, from page 25 

ting coach. Albert spent the last five seasons 

with the Astros, but the five before 

that were in the Cardinals organization. 

Shildt knows him well; ownership and 

the front office know him well. Similar to 

Shildt, Albert is thoroughly modern. The 

most important aspect of his coaching 

style to track this year is that he preaches 

against strikeouts, which is so modern 

it’s retro. Major League Baseball teams 

seemingly have grown very comfortable 

with hitters striking out a lot in recent 

years, but Albert’s approach values contact, 

which is a notable change. 

One last small note – the Redbirds’ 

first base coach will be Stubby Clapp 

and their third base coach will be Ron 

“Pop” Warner. Is there anything more 

baseball than base coaches named Pop 

and Stubby? No, there is not. By definition, 

there is nothing more baseball than 

Stubby and Pop at first and third. 

THE REST OF THE DIVISION 

It is possible that the Cincinnati Reds 

are the most improved team in baseball 

this year? Luckily, they were pretty 

much the worst team in baseball last year 

so they will still remain pretty far behind 

the rest of the division. That said, they 

will not be a pushover by any means. 

That description pretty much sums up 

the National League Central Division – 

there are no pushover teams. It may very 

well be the most competitive division in 

the major league in 2019. 

The upstart Brewers and the baby bears 

of the Windy City did not do much to get 

better this season, but they did not get 

any worse either. We are not going to 

find our 9.5 extra wins by counting on 

other teams to get more losses. 

THINGS TO WATCH FOR 

Which pitchers step up? Carlos Martinez, 

Alex Reyes, Brett Cecil, Luke 

Gregerson, Andrew Miller, Adam Wainwright. 

Every one of these guys has All- 

Star stuff when they are right. Very few 

of them have been right for very long 

over the last couple of years. 

Will the outfield be offensive? Every 

presumed starter in the Cardinals outfield 

has question marks next to their offensive 

production. Marcell Ozuna was one 

of the most feared righties in baseball 

just two seasons ago. Can he get back? 

Dexter Fowler doesn’t need to hit for 

a high average or a bunch of power to 

deem his comeback a success. He just 

has to get on base. With Bader’s highend 

athletic ability, speed and baserunning 

he just needs to find the bases any 

[Lou Countryman photo] 

way he can to be a success this year. 

Who gets benched? The Cardinals 

bench will be an odd group this year. 

Gyorko, Jose Martinez and Tyler O’Neil 

are all big-time bats who cannot settle 

into a defensive position. Newcomer 

Drew Robinson is pretty OK at nearly 

everything. The backup either will be a 

former all-star [Matt Wieters] or a FOY 

[Friend of Yadi] named Francisco Pena. 

SUMMARY 

In the minds of most pundits, the Redbirds 

have returned to their rightful place 

as favorites to win the division. Have we 

made a strong argument that they have 

closed the gap on those elusive 9.5 wins 

that will achieve those predictions? Perhaps. 

The Cardinals are better than they 

were last year. Goldschmidt alone made 

this the strongest offseason for the Cardinals 

in a long time. But is he enough? 

Our prediction: The Cardinals are able 

to scratch and claw their way to 92 or 

93 wins, which proves to be enough to 

claim the National League Central title. 

We don’t need any magic salsa or rally 

squirrels – in Goldschmidt we trust.

Mike Shildt ready for his first full 

season as Cardinals manager 

This year, Mike Shildt will be 

in charge from the beginning 

for the St. Louis Cardinals. 

Shildt was named interim 

manager on July 15 and managed 

the team to 41-28 for a 

.594 winning percentage. That 

matched the Brewers and Rockies 

for the most wins among NL 

teams in that time span. Shildt 

had his interim tag removed 

prior to the game on Aug. 28. 

He helped transform the 

Cardinals from a middling 

squad into a playoff contender 

after going 47-46 under Mike 

Matheny. 

“He deserves a lot of credit 

because he’s putting players 

in positions to succeed. It’s 

worked,” Cardinals chairman 

Bill DeWitt said. “I’m 

not being critical of the prior 

regime because they’ve been 

here a number of years. We Mike Shildt 

[Official team photo] 

said at the time a fresh voice 

can inject new life into a club and that’s 

what has happened in my view.” 

Managers in St. Louis are expected to 

take their team to October. But the Cardinals 

have missed the postseason the last 

three years. 

“Guys are hungry. They’re eager,” 

Shildt said. “We, as a staff, have been 

intentional about working with our players. 

I think that’s the part that’s most 

important. Sharing dialogue with the 

player and getting feedback, his thoughts 

and information. We want to make sure 

we use all our resources to help a player. 

“Players in our clubhouse have full 

autonomy to challenge respectfully what 

we say, what we do and what we think. 

It’s not us versus them. It’s us with them. 

We’re a team. We want to do our best to 

go forward and get to the promised land.” 

Matt Carpenter is a believer in Shildt’s 

way of doing things. 

“Some people have a way of making 

everyone feel involved,” said Carpenter. 

“You either have that skill set or you 

don’t. He’s got it. He has a way of bringing 

everyone into the conversation.” 

Shildt started with the Cardinals organization 

in 2004. He worked as a scout. 

He’s been in player development. He’s 

been a coach and a manager in the minor 

leagues in Johnson City, Springfield and 

Memphis. He doesn’t have much experience 

as a player though. 

“I played a lot of left out, and couldn’t 

hit a lick,” said Shildt of his stint as a 

utility infielder at UNC-Asheville, where 

his diamond days came to an end. 

He knows the players want to succeed. 

It’s his job and that of his staff to make 

that happen. 

“We’re looking at ways to continue to 

evolve. We want to be the best at getting 

better every day,” Shildt said. “We’re not 

crazy outside the box doing anything different. 

We’re taking all the information 

that’s available to us and trying to condense 

it into the most simple form to be 

able to execute on the field. It’s still baseball. 

Pitchers throwing strikes, defense 

making plays and the offense executing.” 

It sounds simple. That’s how Shildt 

wants it to be. 

“We will give no quarter and take as 

many quarters as everybody will give 

us,” Shildt said. “We want to be really 

fundamentally sound and play the game 

the right way. Be smart. Be aggressive. 

“It’s about trusting your ability and getting 

after it.” 

The biggest problem facing the Cardinals 

is they reside in what could be the 

toughest division in baseball. The Cubs 

are favored again while the Brewers are 

coming off a surprise postseason trip. 

But with a few big acquisitions, along 

with help from within, the Cardinals 

could leap both of them when they open 

the regular season March 28 in Milwaukee.

Procedure to qualified candidates 

Yadier Molina 

[Lou Countryman photos] 

A healthy Yadier Molina will be a big 

help to the St. Louis Cardinals this season. 

The longtime star catcher had a minor 

cleanup procedure on his left knee in 

December. 

“My knee was pretty bad,” Molina said. 

“It had been bothering me for a long time.” 

Playing the game at a high level is 

important to Molina. 

The 36-year-old Molina is a nine-time 

All-Star, has won nine Gold Gloves and 

is a two-time World Series champion. 

The Cardinals have reached the playoffs 

nine times with Molina, but have missed 

the postseason the last three years. That 

changes in 2019, he said. 

“I’m 100 percent sure we got what we 

need to win the Series. It’s up to us to stay 

healthy. We’re going to show the world we 

can do it. I can’t wait to get back in the 

playoffs,” Molina said. “With the experience 

we have, I guarantee we’re going to 

do some good things in the playoffs. I’m 

100 percent pretty sure we’re going to 

make it this year.” 

St. Louis made a couple of big moves 

this offseason, getting slugging first baseman 

Paul Goldschmidt in a trade with 

Arizona and signing free agent reliever 

Andrew Miller. 

“We got a different team,” Molina said. 

“We had to do something. This year is different. 

It’s going to be a good year for us. 

We’ve got to have it this year. No excuses. 

“Hopefully, we’re going to be more 

aggressive. We’ll try to win it. That’s our 

goal.” 

Veteran Matt Carpenter is equally excited 

about the 2019 season. 

“You say this every year because you feel 

like you have to, but you believe it,” said 

Carpenter, who will move to third base 

with the acquisition of Goldschmidt. “It 

feels different this year than in years past. 

“The pulse around here feels a little different. 

We’ve got a lot to prove, but man, 

this is as excited as I’ve ever been to start 

a season. There’s a good reason for that.” 

Molina always is a clubhouse leader. He 

also leads on the field. He’s averaged 133 

games behind the plate over the past three 

seasons. 

Molina spent 1,017 2/3 innings behind 

the plate last season despite his troublesome 

knee. He hit a .261 average with 20 

home runs and 74 RBIs. 

Molina has played his entire 15-year 

major league career with the Cardinals. 

He’s entering the second season of a threeyear 

contract and said he plans to end his 

career with St. Louis. 

Last season, he said he wouldn’t play 

beyond his contract. Now, he’s hedging on 

that. 

“Right now, I’ve still got this year and 

one more year,” Molina said. “I made a 

statement down in Puerto Rico that I would 

love to play one more year but only for the 

Cardinals. If they don’t want me, I’m out. 

“It all depends on what happens in these 

next two years. If they want to do it one 

more time, I’ll only do it with the Cardinals. 

We’ll see what happens.”

Veteran St. Louis pitcher Adam Wainwright 

remains confident in his ability 

to still be effective on the mound for the 

Cardinals. 

“I want to win. There’s still a big part 

of me that thinks that I’m going to win 

a Cy Young,” Wainwright said. “So, I 

mean, even if that’s pitching in middle 

relief, I’d be the first one to ever do that.” 

The 37-year-old Wainwright made just 

eight starts in an injury-plagued 2018 

campaign. In those starts, Wainwright 

allowed 12 earned runs on 22 hits in 22 

1-3 innings. More importantly, he walked 

just four while striking out 25. In his 

rehab outing before returning in September, 

Wainwright pitched 17 scoreless 

innings. 

His best outing was a two-hit, sixinning 

scoreless outing against the Los 

Angeles Dodgers in his next-to-last start. 

The positive performance earned him a 

15th season with the Cardinals. Among 

Cardinals, just Bob Gibson and Jesse 

Haines have had longer tenures as pitchers 

with the team. 

Last October, Wainwright inked a 

one-year contract worth $2 million plus 

bonus incentives. That deal followed 

a five-year, $97.5 million contract that 

expired. 

“The way he pitched in that rehab 

assignment and the way he pitched in 

September is what established the fact 

that he can still pitch in the big leagues,” 

said Michael Girsch, Cardinals general 

manager. “It became obvious that he 

wanted to come back. He had convinced 

himself that he could do it.” 

Wainwright finished the season 2-4 

with a 4.46 ERA in 40 1/3 innings. He 

has 148 wins in his 14 seasons. Wainwright 

is two wins shy of becoming the 

fifth Cardinal pitcher, and first since Bob 

Forsch, who has 163 career victories, to 

win 150 games. 

Wainwright was the runner-up for the 

Cy Young Award in 2010 and 2013. He 

finished third twice. He has been a complete 

player in his tenure with his defense 

and hitting. He won Gold Glove awards 

in 2009 and 2013. In 2017, he captured 

the Silver Slugger Award as the best hitting 

pitcher in the National League. 

But since 2015, Wainwright has battled 

various ailments. He has been limited to 

68 starts since 2015. 

Wainwright injured his hamstring 

coming out of spring training in 2018. 

He started the season on the disabled 

list. He came back and made three starts. 


Wainwright looks to turn back 

time this season for Cardinals 

Adam Wainwright 

[File photo] 

Then, he returned to the 60-day DL with 

a sore right elbow. 

“You know, if I’m being honest, last 

year or even the year before, just the way 

my arm was feeling, I might have said 

I’m going to out and win 25 games or 

whatever but deep down I wasn’t mentally 

there,” Wainwright said. “It’s one 

thing to say it but it’s a whole another 

thing to believe it.” 

This spring, Wainwright reports he is 

healthy. 

“It’s been unlike any offseason for me 

since the 2014 offseason,” Wainwright 

said. “Nothing to repair. No stitches to 

get out. No other surgeries to have. It’s 

been fun for me actually. I was able to 

train completely normal again. I can 

throw completely normal. I already longtossed 

back to 210 feet. I haven’t done 

that since even I don’t know when. I’m 

feeling good about it.” 

John Mozeliak, the Cardinals president 

of baseball operations, is optimistic 

about Wainwright. 

“Adam has proven, when healthy, that 

he still has the ability and the drive to 

contribute at the highest level,” Mozeliak 

said. “We saw it in spring training, and 

again late in the season, that once he had 

overcome his ailments, he was prepared 

to give us a winning effort every time he 

took the mound.”

Mikolas looks to duplicate or surpass 2018 performance 


Miles Mikolas’ contract allowed him to 

become a free agent after the 2019 World 

Series, even though he will have only three 

years of major league service. 

He’s not going anywhere now. 

The 30-year-old right-hander recently 

signed a four-year, $68 million contract 

extension with the Cardinals. The deal will 

cover the 2020-23 seasons. He returned to 

the major leagues last year after three seasons 

in Japan, agreeing to a $15.5 million, 

two-year contract with St. Louis. 

“Clearly, how Miles pitched last year, he 

ended up being the anchor of our rotation,” 

President of Baseball Operations John 

Mozeliak said. 

He became a first-time All-Star, going 

18-4 with a 2.83 ERA in 32 starts. 

“I think when you combine his skill with 

his leadership and really his ability to help 

mentor young players it just seemed like, as 

we looked to the future, he was that natural 

person to take that next step to carry that for 

the St. Louis Cardinals,” Mozeliak said. 

If Mikolas’ 2019 performance is similar 

to what he did last year, he likely would 

have received far more as a free agent next 

offseason. But Mikolas is happy with St. 

Miles Mikolas 

[Newscom/Bill Greenblatt photo] 

Louis. He will be the Cardinals openingday 

starter this season. 

“It’s an ideal situation,” Mikolas said. 

“Going forward in my baseball career there 

isn’t a team that I can see myself as a better 

fit for and no team that I’d rather see myself 

playing for than the St. Louis Cardinals.” 

A seventh-round pick by San Diego in 

the 2009 amateur draft, Mikolas made his 

debut for the Padres three years later. He 

made 37 relief appearances for San Diego 

over two years, was traded to Pittsburgh 

and then Texas after the 2013 season and 

was 2-5 with a 6.44 ERA in 10 starts for 

Texas in 2014. 

He was released by the Rangers 

and signed with the Yomiuri 

Giants of Japan’s Central League 

and had a 2.18 ERA over three 

seasons with a 0.99 WHIP and 

378 strikeouts in 424 2/3 innings. 

In St. Louis, he emerged as the 

rotation anchor. He led the NL 

with 254 ground-ball outs. He 

had a 1.07 WHIP along with a 

146/29 K/BB ratio across 200 2-3 

innings. 

“There’s a little bit of selfsatisfaction,” 

Mikolas said. “I 

surprised a lot of people. This is 

what I’ve been trying to do my whole life – 

be this kind of pitcher.” 

Mikolas had a 1.07 WHIP, struck out 146 

and walked 29 in 200 2-3 innings. 

“He’s such a strike thrower that it’s 

almost hard for him to get it out of the 

zone,” veteran pitcher Adam Wainwright 

said. “What a great problem that is to have, 

right?” 

Last year, Mikolas finished sixth in 

voting for the Cy Young Award. 

“He’s always had good stuff,” Cardinals 

General Manager Michael Girsch said. “I 

don’t think we expected him to have the 

best walk rate in the league, but we knew 

he’d throw strikes and had good stuff, and 

we thought he’d be a good, solid starting 

pitcher. We couldn’t be happier with how 

he’s worked out.” 

Cardinals Manager Mike Shildt also was 

impressed. 

“He does things that are tried and true,” 

Shildt said. “He throws strikes, quality 

strikes. He throws inside, and he commands 

the inner half of the plate. Pitching 

is a disruption of timing. He throws 

varying speeds, and he throws strikes with 

command. That’s a recipe for success.” 

That recipe is one Mikolas hopes to 

duplicate this season. 

“Whatever happened last year was last 

year,” Mikolas said. “The next step is to do 

it all over again. I’m definitely one not to 

try to get complacent and rest on my laurels. 

As far as I’m concerned, I’m out there 

to prove myself again. It’s a new season 

and it’s a new start. I’m sure I’ll have to 

adjust. Hitters will come in with a different 

game plan. 

“I’m approaching the season with the 

same mindset I have always had as a 

pitcher – get outs. I take it one pitch at 

a time. Hit my spots and, you know, see 

where I’m at when the game’s over.”

“Like I said to the guys, we are like a 

family,” Molina said of his response. “We 

had to stick together and had to defend 

ourselves and defend our ground. Whenever 

anybody says anything about us, we 

have to be there to defend us. St. Louis 

is home. If anybody has anything bad to 

say about my home, I’m going to be there 

for us.” 

At the Cardinals Winter Warm-Up, St. 

Louis General Manager Michael Girsch 

gave his take on the situation. 

“If Yadi feels like it got him a little 

bit more excited for 2019 then that will 

work,” Girsch said. 

The Cardinals-Cubs rivalry is one of 

the top ones in baseball. Fans on both the 

red and blue sides live and die by how 

their team does. It’s a feud that St. Louis 

reliever John Brebbia says is great. 

Brebbia took to Twitter to respond to 

Bryant’s comments. He wrote: “Cry me 

a River, loser. #stlcards.” Immediately, 

Brebbia’s remark went viral. 

“I was surprised to see that,” Brebbia 

said. “I’m not much of a social media 

guru. I got a little taste of what it’s like 

to have my photo on an Instagram page or 

whatever it’s called.” 

Brebbia first learned about Bryant’s 

comments while on a Cardinals caravan 

stop in Peoria, Illinois. 

“We were doing a Q & A, you could 

call it a Town Hall-style setup,” Brebbia 

said. “Someone asked if we had heard 

the comment that Kris Bryant made. We 

didn’t know what he said. He mentioned 

Kris called St. Louis boring, and I don’t 

know anybody in St. Louis who enjoys 

that opinion. So, I just tried to shuffle that 

off to the side. 

“I got to see [Molina’s reaction] later

that evening. He’s a guy who is passionate 

about this city. It’s been good to him. So 

he has my full support for sure.” 

St. Louis manager Mike Shildt got 

involved as well when he met with the 

media at the Cardinals’ annual Winter 

Warm-Up. 

“You know, I support Yadi’s comments 

completely,” Shildt said. He added that 

he respects Kris as a player and that he’s 

entitled to his opinion. “I also respect our 

catcher, Yadi, and I back his comments.” 

Brebbia said he thinks the mid-winter 

ribbing was good for baseball. 

“I think it was a good way to remind 

everyone that Cardinals-Cubs are going 

to be back in action soon,” Brebbia said. 

St. Louis pitcher Chasen Shreve, who 

like Bryant, is from Las Vegas, said he 

was trying to stay out of it “because Kris 

is a good buddy of mine.” 

“It’s all fun and games really,” he said. 

“We take it seriously but at the same time, 

maybe we think Chicago is a little boring. 

I don’t know. It’s all opinion. We’re ready 

to get out there and beat the Cubs this 

year.” 

The first of 19 regular-season games 

between the two teams will take place 

May 3 at Wrigley Field. Chicago comes to 

St. Louis for the first time for a weekend 

series beginning May 31.

Goldschmidt expected to provide 

added pop to Cardinals lineup 

After missing postseason play for the 

past three seasons, the St. Louis Cardinals 

believe they have struck gold with Paul 

Goldschmidt. 

Last December, St. Louis sent pitcher 

Luke Weaver, catcher Carson Kelly, minor 

league infielder Andy Young and a 2019 

draft pick to Arizona for the 

slugging first baseman. 

The Cardinals finished 

88-74 last season. To remedy 

its postseason drought, the 

club sought a big bat to put 

into a lineup that includes 

Matt Carpenter, Marcell 

Ozuna and Yadier Molina. 

“In the offseason, we feel 

like we did the things we 

needed to do to put a successful 

club out on the field,” 

said John Mozeliak, the Cardinals 

president of baseball 

operations. “We knew we had to make 

some changes to our club because we felt 

like, even though we had a good team last 

year, we still weren’t good enough. 

“We looked at all the different options 

that might be out there, whether it be the 

free-agent market or what our trade options 

might look like. We felt that Paul checked 

so many boxes for us that it made sense.” 

Goldschmidt is glad to join the Cardinals. 

“This organization here has had success 

for a really long time and sustained 

it; that’s really tough to do,” Goldschmidt 

said. “I’m looking forward to finding ways 

to help us win. I’m excited about that. This 

division is really good top to bottom. 

“Hopefully, we’ll go out there and find 

a way to win the division and get in the 

playoffs and do something special.” 

Mozeliak believes the addition of Goldschmidt 

will tip the scales in the Cardinals’ 

favor. He should improve an offense that 

finished fourth in the NL in homers last 

season [205] and sixth in runs [759]. 

“We needed just a little bit more,” Manager 

Mike Shildt said. 

Goldschmidt, 31, has been voted to six 

straight All-Star Games. In 2018, he hit 

.290 with 33 homers and 83 RBIs – his 

fourth season in the past six years with at 

least 30 homers. 

Over the past eight seasons, Goldschmidt 

has averaged 31 home runs, an OPS [onbase 

plus slugging] of .930, 40 doubles, 175 

hits and 97 walks. In 2016, he stole 32 bases, 

a season after recording 21 in 2015. He has 

124 career steals, an average of 18 per year. 

Goldschmidt is a four-time NL Silver 

Slugger award winner and a three-time Rawlings 

Gold Glove recipient. He is the lone NL 

player to be named an All-Star in each of the 

past six seasons, and he’s one of just three 

players [along with Mike Trout and Salvador 

Pérez] in all of the majors to have done so. 

Shildt said Goldschmidt is the real deal. 

“A lot of times the hyperbole doesn’t 

meet what’s real,” Shildt said. “In this case, 

it’s exceeded it. He’s come in and been 

unbelievably engaging, 

thoughtful [and] proactive. 

He’s really smart and dedicated 

to what we’re doing 

and how we’re doing it. 

He’s exceeded expectations 

already.” 

His teammates are 

excited about him joining 

the Cardinals. 

“Give me a beer!” Molina 

said when he learned about 

the trade. “Give me a beer, 

please, because this is 

great news. I can’t wait to 

be on the same field with Goldy and the 

other guys.” 

Second baseman Kolten Wong said he 

told Mozeliak the defense will be much 

better. 

“It’s going to be tough for these guys 

to sneak a ball past us on the right side,” 

Wong said. “[This] allows me to be more 

free and go for balls I know I can go after, 

and not go after balls to my left, because I 

know he’s going to be there.” 

Adding Goldschmidt allows the club to 

move Matt Carpenter to third base on a 

full-time basis. 

“I couldn’t be happier, not only that I’m 

moving across the diamond but who I’m 

moving for,” Carpenter said. 

Shortly after the trade, Goldschmidt 

began swapping texts with Cardinals 

coaches and teammates discussing the finer 

points of the game, like baserunning and 

taking leads. 

“They are not short conversations,” 

Shildt said. “And they are not forced. He 

loves it, is my point. He’s a baseball guy.” 

Wong agreed. 

“When you look at someone like Paul 

Goldschmidt, that is a Cardinal, man,” 

Wong said. “How he plays the game, how 

he goes about his business, that’s the Cardinal 

Way. 

“To have someone like that, hopefully, 

to re-sign and be with us long term, that’s 

something all these guys who are coming 

up or getting drafted by the Cardinals are 

going to be able to look at and say, ‘This is 

how I want to play the game.’ Even someone 

like me. I want to be sitting next to him, 

finding out what I can.”

St. Louis pitcher Jack Flaherty has an 

ace to call when he needs a little pitching 

advice. 

The 23-year-old Flaherty has become 

friends with Cardinals pitching legend and 

Hall-of-Famer Bob Gibson. The 83-yearold 

Gibson, with 251 career wins, is the 

lodestar for all St. Louis pitchers. 

“Getting that opportunity with Gibson 

and trying to develop that relationship 

more and use it for all that I could, that’s 

something I try to use to my advantage,” 

Flaherty said. 

Flaherty is about to go to work in his 

second season in the big leagues. 

He finished 8-9 in 2018 with a 3.34 

earned run average. The 6-foot-4, 205- 

pound right-hander struck out 182 batters 

in 151 innings. He led baseball in strikeouts 

by a rookie. Opponents hit just .199 against 

him, and he finished fifth in the National 

League’s Rookie of the Year voting. 

Despite the 50-year age gap, the two 

pitchers stay in contact through emails, 

WAINWRIGHT, from page 30 

this season. However, he has not ruled 

out a return to the bullpen, where he 

began his career. 

For starters, the Cardinals have former 

All-Stars Miles Mikolas, Michael Wacha 

and Carlos Martinez to lead the rotation. 

Jack Flaherty also pitched well last season 

as a rookie to earn a spot in the rotation. 

That leaves one opening for a starter. 

Besides Wainwright, other contenders 

are Austin Gomber and John Gant, who 

both had starts last season. Alex Reyes 

also is healthy this spring. The hardthrowing 

right-hander has logged only 

texts and phone calls. 

Gibson saw something he liked in Flaherty 

and reached out to him last season 

during the club’s Hall of Fame induction 

ceremony in August. 

When someone like Gibson summons, 

you go, Flaherty said. Gibson told him he 

became a fan of his watching him pitch on 

television. 

“I mean, it was special,” said Flaherty, 

who acknowledged he didn’t know “a 

whole lot” about Gibson and what he had 

done in the game. 

“There’s no other way to put it – when 

you hear guy like that wants to meet you 

and that’s not something he really does 

ever – I jumped at that opportunity,” Flaherty 

said. “I try to reach out whenever I 

can if I have any questions. 

“He’s pretty good about getting back to 

me. That’s just special, really special to 

me.” 

After they visited last summer, Gibson 

said he would leave his contact informa- 

See FLAHERTY, next page 

four major league innings over the last 

two seasons due to lat and elbow injuries; 

however, St. Louis remains high on 

Reyes’ ability. 

“I’m trying not to think of anything that 

I can’t control,” Wainwright said. “And 

what I can control is coming in and getting 

outs. I’m pretty confident in that.” 

Wainwright knows this could be his 

last season in the majors. 

“I’m going to treat every year from 

here like it’s my last and go year-to-year,” 

Wainwright said. “I’m going to have a 

great time and maybe a year from now 

we’re having the same conversation or 

we’re having a retirement conversation.”


FLAHERTY, from previous 

tion. Sure enough, Flaherty said, there was 

a piece of paper in his locker with Gibson’s 

phone number and email address. 

So when he feels the need, Flaherty calls 

or texts Gibson. 

Some of the best advice he’s received 

was Gibson telling him to fight through 

the weariness that comes in a long season, 

Flaherty said. 

“He said you’re going to get tired at some 

point … and you just take wherever you’re 

at and give 100 percent of that,” Flaherty 

said. 

The young pitcher, who likes the history 

of the game, said he checked out Gibson’s 

statistics to get a sense of how good he was. 

“I looked up what he did, his stats and 

how good he was. They changed the rules 

for him,” Flaherty said. “He was that 

dominant. It’s been fun with him. That’s a 

legend right there.” 

Flaherty was unbeaten in August to 

improve to 8-6. However, he went winless 

at 0-3 in six September starts. 

That September performance still rankles 

him. 

“I don’t feel like I ended my season very 

well,” Flaherty said. “I feel like my September 

was tough. There were ups and downs; 

it’s up to me to limit those down periods. 




“I didn’t live up to my own expectations 

so you make adjustments and try not to 

have it carry on for another start.” 

Flaherty, who was the 34th overall pick 

in the 2014 draft, will be joining Miles 

Mikolas, Carlos Martinez, Michael Wacha 

and Adam Wainwright in the starting rotation 

this spring. That’s different from last 

season. 

In late March 2018, the Cardinals 

said Flaherty would be on the Opening 

Day roster in place of the injured Adam 

Wainwright. But when Wainwright was 

activated, Flaherty was optioned back to 

Memphis on April 4. 

Flaherty was recalled and optioned back 

once more before taking Wainwright’s spot 

in the rotation in May when Wainwright 

was placed on the 60-day disabled list. 

Flaherty stayed the rest of the season 

with the club. 

“It was a lot of growth last year,” Flaherty 

said. “I’m always ready to get better. I’m 

always ready to go out there every fifth day 

and throw.” 

That’s what St. Louis manager Mike 

Shildt said he likes to hear. 

“We like Jack in about any situation,” 

Shildt said. “You’ve got five guys with 

the ability to say that [they’re No. 1 types], 

which clearly is a favorable position to be 

in.”

The St. Louis Cardinals hope a healthy 

Andrew Miller can help reverse their recent 

luck with new relievers. 

Coming off a series of injuries, Miller 

ended 2018 by signing a two-year deal with 

the Cardinals. Recent relief signings haven’t 

worked out too well for St. Louis. Brett 

Cecil, Luke Gregerson and Greg Holland 

weren’t able to replicate their past success. 

John Mozeliak, president of baseball 

operations, said he knew Miller would be 

a big key to making the bullpen better in 

2019. 

“He wants the ball,” Mozeliak said. 

“One of our stated goals this offseason 

was to improve our bullpen, Mozeliak 

added. “Andrew Miller is one of the premier 

relievers in the major leagues, and his 

addition certainly strengthens our bullpen. 

“He has pitched on the biggest stages in 

the world. He has pitched at an elite level. 

His character, his competitiveness and his 

leadership. All of this has led us to pursuing 

him this offseason.” 

St. Louis signed the free-agent Miller on 

a two-year 2019-2020 deal with a vesting 

option for 2021. 

Miller, a veteran of 13 seasons in the 

majors, has been one of baseball’s best lefthanded 

relievers since converting to the 

role with Boston in 2012. He twice finished 

among the top 10 in American League Cy 

Young balloting while with the Yankees 

and the Indians. 

Being the closer is not something Miller 

is expecting or seeking this season. He said 

he can pitch anywhere and doesn’t mind 

that role. 

“One thing that makes him unique from 

most relievers is that he doesn’t care where 

he pitches,” Mozeliak said. “He wants high 

leverage when it matters the most, whether 

it’s in the fourth inning, the seventh inning 

or the ninth. That’s a nice Swiss Army 

knife for the manager.” 

Miller agreed. He believes the whole 

bullpen should be that way. 

“Hopefully as a group, that’s what we can 

kind of bring to the table. We can be flexible 

as a group and do whatever it takes to win,” 

Miller said. “That’s the mentality we have.” 

The Cardinals don’t have a clear closer 

at this point. Hard-throwing right-hander 

Jordan Hicks, who frequently tops 100 

mph with his fastball, looms large as an 

option. Miller can do the job as well. 

Miller pointed out there’s no designated 

setup man or closer in the minor leagues. 

Relievers learned that coming up, he said, and 

should bring that mindset to the big leagues. 

“There’s value in knowing what inning 

you pitch, but I don’t think you need rigid 

structure roles,” Miller said. “Hopefully, we 

Andrew Miller 

[Newscom/Kim Klement photo] 

give him [manager Mike Shildt] a ton of flexibility. 

In an ideal world, there’s seven guys 

out there than can pitch to lefties or righties 

and can pitch early in the game or late in the 

game. Ideally, that’s what we give him.” 

Miller was a key member of the Cleveland 

bullpen in 2016 when it advanced to 

the World Series. He was voted the MVP 

of the AL Championship Series that year, 

striking out 14 in 7 2-3 innings. 

He was an All-Star in 2017. But he saw 

his ERA climb to 4.24 in 2018 with the 

Indians while battling hamstring, knee and 

shoulder issues that required three stints on 

the disabled list. 

At 33, he’s coming off a season in which 

he was limited to 34 innings in 37 appearances 

because of those injuries. The Cardinals, 

however, are confident those health 

issues are resolved and that Miller is the 

player of two years ago and not the Andrew 

Miller of last year. 

Miller, too, said he is good to go. 

“I feel great,” Miller said. “I’ve put in a 

lot of hard work. It was frustrating there for 

a while finding a plan but I feel great. I’m 

ready to go.” 

The Cardinals went 88-74 last year and 

missed the playoffs for the third straight 

season. 

Miller, who pitched for the Marlins in 

2008-10, said coming back to the National 

League won’t be a big deal. 

“Honestly, the two leagues are probably 

more similar now than they’ve ever been,” 

Miller said. “For me as a reliever, it’s just 

about getting a guy out. It’s a lot of new 

faces and that’s always a challenge. 

“As I’ve gotten older and have more 

experience, that works in my favor. I’m 

looking forward to it. Certainly, this division, 

on paper, is pretty darn good.” 

Hitting is not something Miller expects 

to do in the National League. 

“I’ve got to bat, we’ve got big problems,” 

Miller laughed. “I’m not much of a hitter. I 

don’t expect that to be any positive contribution 

to the team.”

Priory’s Bingman is first state wrestling champion in school history 


Priory junior Dalton Bingman’s wrestling 

season began with an injury and 

ended with a state championship. 

The junior made history for the Rebels 

as the first state champion ever for the program. 

He won the Class 2 championship 

in the 220-pound weight class on an 8-0 

major decision over Drayton Huchteman, 

of Bolivar. He finished his season with a 

27-3 record. 

Naturally, Bingman is proud of his 

accomplishment. 

“It was a very special feeling once I realized 

the importance of what I had achieved. 

Not only had I accomplished something 

for myself, but my school, too. As soon as 

I won my match, I started receiving texts 

from just about every person in my school 

congratulating me on my win.” 

Being a proud Rebel, Bingman is happy 

to see his school get recognition as well. 

“It seems like a competition between 

schools over who has the most state champions 

and placers in wrestling,” Bingman 

said. “Our wall was always a little less 

glamorous than other schools with their list 

of state champions. Now, I feel proud that 

I can walk into that room and see that we 

Dalton Bingman [center] 

finally have a name underneath that No. 1. 

“I think I speak for every wrestler that 

has gone to Priory when I say that there is 

some sense of fulfillment having a name 

up there. Just as I admired the names of the 

wrestlers who had placed at state from our 

school, future wrestlers will look up at my 

name and admire my accomplishments and 

want to follow in my footsteps.” 

It was a long journey – one that included 

overcoming an injury. 

“I had a rough start to the regular season 

with getting injured in my second match 

against [Principia’s] Alex Reyes,” Bingman 

said. “Since it was a back injury, the 

recovery process was very aggravating. 

After weeks of no improvement, I went to a 

practice to see how it felt and realized that 

this only made the situation worse. Finally, 

by Christmas break, which was approximately 

six weeks after the injury, the pain 

was hardly noticeable. 

“I went to that Friday practice and wrestled 

the next day in the Metro League Tournament. 

Surprisingly, I wrestled pretty well 

and had no issues with my back, taking 

first place in the tournament.” 

By the time he got to state, he was ready. 

Bingman said Priory coach Steve Rolwes 

helped him get ready for state. 

“Coach Rolwes used my match against 

Colton as an example for all the things I 

needed to work on. Wrestling good competition 

always points out your greatest 

flaws,” Rolwes said. “Since I’m one of the 

more conditioned and lighter wrestlers in 

the 220 weight class, Coach wanted me to 

focus on shooting more often in the beginning 

of the match to tire them out earlier. 

“This would give me the upper hand 

in the latter half of the match rather than 

being desperate to score points. He also 

made sure to stress the importance of not 

throwing, since it obviously didn’t work 

against a skilled wrestler like Colton.” 

Bingman scored a second-period pin 

over Cameron’s Jacob Hursch to open state. 

In the quarterfinals, Bingman earned a 5-0 

decision over Dexter’s Colton Gibson. 

In the semifinal, Bingman pinned No. 

2-ranked Barrett Beaird in 5 minutes, 45 

seconds. 

“My match against Barrett was a little 

more stressful,” Bingman said. “With 

him being ranked second in state and not 

having wrestled him before, I felt a little 

intimidated. To be honest, I didn’t think I 

was going to win that match before going 

into it. 

“As the third period rolled around, he 

attempted to throw me to put me on my 

back and get the pin in a desperate attempt 

to win the match. I was able to successfully 

maneuver out of his body locks and pin 

him with 15 seconds left in the match.” 

That set up Bingman to go in the championship 

match. Rolwes noted Bingman had 

some butterflies. 

“Well, any time you are wrestling for the 

state championship there are going to be 

some nerves,” Rolwes said. “That is something 

we talked about during his warm-up 

and addressed how to handle those. We 

told him to take a deep breath, take it all in 

and enjoy the experience.” 

That’s exactly what he did.

National Poison Prevention Week serves as a reminder that most poisoning 

accidents happen at home, and highlights the steps needed to prevent them. 

health 

capsules 

By LISA RUSSELL 

Awareness week spotlights 

poisoning risks 

March 17-23 is National Poison Prevention 

Week, an annual event designed to increase 

awareness of the most common sources of 

accidental poisoning in the U.S. Statistics 

show that more than 90 percent of the time, 

poisonings happen in people’s homes, with 

the majority of those incidents occurring in 

the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. 

Because poisoning is a risk for people of 

all ages – but especially young children – it’s 

important to know those sources, as well as 

what to do if you suspect someone may have 

been poisoned. Following is a list of the most 

common causes of poisoning from the U.S. 

Health Resources & Services Administration 

[HRSA] and the American Association of 

Poison Control Centers, and tips for keeping 

yourself and your family safe. 

Medicines 

• Keep medicines in their original containers, 

properly labeled, and store them 

appropriately. 

• Medicines which have the potential for 

abuse, such as opioids, sleep medicines 

and amphetamines, should be kept under 

lock and key if possible. 

• Be aware of medication “look-alikes” – 

such as Sudafed and candy red hots – and 

make sure they are kept out of children’s 

reach. 

Household products and chemicals 

• Many household cleaners and related 

products are potential poisons if inhaled or 

ingested. Store them out of sight and out of 

children’s reach. 

• Keep all products in their original containers. 

Do not use food containers such 

as cups or bottles to store cleaners, paints, 

and other chemicals. 

• All laundry products, along with hazardous 

chemicals like antifreeze, pesticides 

and pool chemicals, should be kept 

on a high shelf or in a locked cabinet. 

Carbon monoxide [CO] 

• Have a working carbon monoxide 

detector in your home; the best places to 

put one are near bedrooms and close to 

furnaces. 

• Be aware of the most common symptoms 

of CO poisoning, which are described 

as flulike and include headache, dizziness, 

weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest 

pain and confusion. 

• Have your heating system, water heater, 

and other gas- or oil-burning appliances 

serviced by a qualified technician every 

year. Chimneys also should be professionally 

checked for proper venting. 

Food 

• Wash hands and counters before and 

after preparing all food. 

• Store food at the proper temperatures. 

Refrigerated foods should not be left out 

at temperatures above 40 degrees F [5 

degrees C]. 

• Use clean utensils for cooking and serving. 

Art and school supplies 

• Some art products are mixtures of 

chemicals which can be dangerous if not 

used correctly. Make sure children use art 

products safely by reading and following 

directions. 

• Do not eat or drink while using art products. 

• Wash skin and wipe tables, desks, and 

counters after contact with art products. 

If you suspect someone may have been 

poisoned, stay calm – most poisoning 

emergencies can be resolved quickly. Even 

if you’re not sure, call the toll-free Poison 

Helpline at 1-800-222-1222, which will

immediately connect you to the nearest 

poison control center to your location. In 

non-emergency situations, fast help is also 

available online at PoisonHelp.org. 

Diagnosed with prediabetes? 

Eat more red raspberries 

According to the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention [CDC], an 

estimated one in three American adults 

– around 84 million in all – have prediabetes. 

People with prediabetes are at higher 

risk for a number of conditions, including 

a progression to type 2 diabetes along 

with cardiovascular disease, stroke and 

Alzheimer’s disease. 

For those who have been diagnosed with 

prediabetes, one delicious way to help prevent 

it from progressing may be to include 

lots of red raspberries in your diet, according 

to researchers from the Illinois Institute 

of Technology. Their study, recently published 

in Obesity, looked at the effects of red 

raspberries on the glucose levels of adults 

with prediabetes and insulin resistance. 

Red raspberries may be a dietary weapon 

against the progression of prediabetes to 

more dangerous disease. 

Adults in the study, who were between 

ages 20 and 60, had their blood tested over 

a 24-hour period after eating breakfast on 

three separate days. The three breakfasts 

were the same except for the amount of 

frozen red raspberries included – one meal 

contained no raspberries, one contained 

one cup and one contained two cups of 

raspberries. 

As the amount of raspberry intake 

increased, participants needed less insulin 

to manage their blood glucose. Those who 

ate two cups of raspberries also had lower 

blood glucose levels. 

“People at risk for diabetes are often told 

to not eat fruits because of their sugar content,” 

said Britt Burton-Freeman, Ph.D., of 

the Center for Nutrition Research at Illinois 

Tech. “Knowing what foods have protective 

benefits and working them into your diet 

now can be an important strategy for slowing 

or reversing progression to disease.” 

Unfortunately, as many as 90 percent 

of adults who have prediabetes may not 

be aware of it. The CDC currently offers 

an online quiz with a short list of questions 

to measure prediabetes risk, along 

with more information about reversing 

the condition. The quiz is available at 

doihaveprediabetes.org. 

A possible new weapon 

against deadly pancreatic cancer 

Pancreatic cancer has thus far resisted the 

progress in treatment made against many 

other forms of cancer. It remains a death 

sentence within a relatively short period of 

time for nearly all of the 55,000 Americans 

per year who are diagnosed with it. 

But a new treatment may soon offer 

some hope. Huntsman Cancer Institute

Utah have discovered a combination drug 

therapy that could eventually be used to 

fight pancreatic cancer. This new therapy 

is administered through pills taken orally, 

using two drugs already approved by the 

Food and Drug Administration to treat 

other diseases, including cancer. 

The drugs, which seem to provide an 

essential one-two punch against both a 

gene mutation that characterizes pancreatic 

cancer and new cancer cell growth, have 

shown promising results both in a lab and 

in mouse models. They have also been 

tested once on a compassionate use basis in 

a patient with pancreatic cancer, who had 

already received both surgical treatment 

and multiple lines of chemotherapy prior to 

receiving them. Although the patient later 

died, he had a “remarkable” response to 

the drugs for several months, according to 

study co-leader Martin McMahon, Ph.D., a 

cancer researcher at HCI and professor of 

dermatology at the U of U. 

“We were able to observe that the combination 

of these two drugs – which, when used 

individually, don’t have much of an impact 

on the disease – appears to have a very potent 

impact on the growth of pancreatic cancer,”

HEALTH, from page 47 

said McMahon. “We have observed this in 

the lab in petri dishes, then in mouse models, 

and now in a pancreatic cancer patient … 

Indeed, we proceeded from a petri dish to a 

patient in less than two years, a timeline that 

is rarely seen in medical science.” 

Until now, effective pancreatic cancer 

treatment has been an unsolved puzzle; but 

a new drug combination could offer hope. 

The study has already progressed to a 

clinical trial that is now open at HCI and 

will soon be open at other sites in the 

U.S. Details about the clinical trial, called 

THREAD, are available under National

Louis County for 32 years, 17 in Eureka. I 

am invested in Eureka because I live, own 

property and operate two businesses there. 

My professional background includes 

working with businesses and community 

organizations to help them set and achieve 

goals, and increase productivity, growth 

and value. Serving as a communications 

specialist during the Vietnam War, I 

learned strong team-building and creative 

communication skills. I am a past board

TOWN & COUNTRY 


Pamela Holman 


Laura Baer 

Residents of Town & Country chose 

living here very intentionally. We selected 

this community for our home because of 

its beauty and open space, quiet, peaceful 

neighborhoods, wonderful parks, nearby 

shopping and dining conveniences. As a 

candidate, I am committed to maintaining 

the character and quality of our community. 

I will protect our remaining open space, 

lead strong opposition to “Better Together,” 

provide cautious development of the Topping 

Road trail and maintain our zero 

property tax. Critically important is working 

collaboratively with our city staff. We 

have recently lost key staff which should 

have been avoided. 

• • • 

Much of my lifetime has been devoted 

to the nonprofit community and outreach 

within our region. Having also been 

actively involved in both our public and 

private school systems for 25 years, this 

has afforded me the knowledge and commitment 

necessary to support our local 

residents’ best interests. I have worked 

with our aldermen, city staff and Mayor 

Dalton to keep Town & Country one of the 

most desirable communities in the country. 

Your vote will afford me the opportunity 

to become a member of the Board 

of Aldermen for Ward 2 and present effective 

collaboration in order to maintain our 

beautiful, beloved Town & Country. 

Tiffany Frautschi* 

As a military spouse, I have called 

many communities home. To each, I gave 

my time, energy and talents toward local 

improvement initiatives – always going 

the extra mile for the common good. When 

Town & Country became our permanent 

home, I immediately volunteered myself 

for the betterment of our schools and community, 

continuing our family tradition 

of service. My priorities are the areas of 

greatest impact on Town & Country: land 

use, public safety, transparency, fiscal 

accountability and independence. Each is 

negatively impacted by a statewide vote 

on a St. Louis City-County merger. I will 

continue to put you and our city first! 

• • • 

Four years ago I pledged to increase 

transparency, to listen and respond to your 

concerns, to do independent research and 

analysis on issues, to be a good steward of 

our land with responsibly restrained development, 

and to demand fiscal accountability. 

Today, I can say that I have kept my 

promises, a true measure of my qualification 

for continued service. Some of my 

work for our community includes Ward 2 

alderman; chairman Police, Fire and EMS 

Commission; West County Fire District 

Board rep; chairman Public Works Commission; 

Topping Road Task Force; Town 

& County Parade Committee; Mason 

Ridge Elementary school volunteer/past 

PTO president. 


Ryan Mortland* 


B. Sophia Ford-Glanton 

If elected, my priorities will be public 

safety, walkability, fiscal responsibility and 

communication. I will work to decrease 

emergency response times in Ward 4 from 

6.33 minutes for EMS and 7.33 minutes for 

non-EMS [in 2018], because as a physician 

I know every second matters. I will work 

to increase the connectivity of our ward to 

the new Town Center through the addition 

of sidewalks. I will maintain a balanced 

budget through careful long-term planning 

and create multiple channels for residents 

to gain information and provide feedback. 

• • • 

I am qualified to serve in this office 

because I have the time and availability to 

learn this position and to learn the needs 

of the community. For many years our 

ward has lived with the status quo. I plan 

to change that. I believe than an alderman 

should be proactive instead of reactive 

and that by engaging with my fellow residents 

and learning what is important to my 

neighbors, I will be able to effect positive 

changes in our ward. 

Jon Benigas* 

The Town & Country of 2019 is even 

more outstanding than it was in 2005, 

when I was first elected. Working in collaboration 

with my fellow aldermen and 

our exceptional city staff, I’m proud of 

what we’ve accomplished together. If 

given the opportunity to serve again, my 

priorities include the responsible expansion 

of our trail system; expansion of our 

infrastructure improvement plan and support 

for the mayor’s Infrastructure Task 

Force; continued revitalization of our commercial 

centers; continued support of our 

first-class police, fire and EMS services; 

and continued transparency in all aspects 

of our local government. 

• • • 

It’s been an honor to serve as Ward 4’s 

alderman for 12 of the past 14 years. I’m in 

my fifth year as chair of the Architectural 

Review Board and serve as a member of 

the Natural Resources Preservation Committee; 

both are focused on preserving the 

character and beauty of our community. 

Previously, I also served as chair of the 

Green Commission and president of the 

Board of Aldermen. Above all else, my 

commitment is to listen to my constituents 

and actively pursue responsible solutions. 

I strive to be a voice of reason and steady 

hand. 

TWIN OAKS 

Mayor 

Russ Fortune* 

Alderman-at-large 

Frank Venturella 

I am running to develop a 5-year plan to 

create and maintain an identity for the city. 

This will be accomplished by effectively 

marketing and branding the city. This type of 

plan will attract investments and people into 

the city, positively affect residential property 

values and enhance the perception of the 

city’s current and future residents. Additionally, 

I will seek to ensure that future commercial 

developments meet the needs of Twin 

Oaks and its residents and will help further 

the positive perception of the city. I will work 

to maintain independent local city government 

to protect Twin Oaks and its residents 

and ensure and maintain current police protection 

and other vital city services. 

• • • 

Served on the Valley Park School Board 

for 12 years. Been a member on the Twin 

Oaks Planning and Zoning Commission for 

the past five years. My business career has 

given me the experience and tools necessary 

to work with people to achieve common 

goals for the benefit of the entire community 

I would represent. I will not be afraid to take 

a stance on city issues, be positive and create 

solution for a better city. I believe that transparency 

and trust are necessary for successful 

city government. I will serve all areas of the 

city equally and fairly. 

Dennis L. Whitmore* 

My priorities if re-elected as an alderman-at-large 

for the city of Twin Oaks 

include supporting the major project to 

remove mud from Twin Oaks Park lake; 

insuring quality development of remaining 

vacant commercial spaces; finishing 

lighting enhancements on Big Bend Road; 

beautifying the Crescent Road roadway; 

opposing Better Together’s plan for a statewide 

vote to remove local control of all St. 

Louis County-City governments; keeping 

Twin Oaks a crime-free great place to live, 

providing quality services to our residents, 

and maintaining a quality infrastructure. 

• • • 

I am privileged and dedicated to have 

served the best interests of Twin Oaks residents 

since 1981. 

Jeffrey L. Graves 

The continuing existence of viable 

medium and small cities is important. It’s 

part of the free, inter-working American 

fabric. In the majority of issues we are best 

served by close-to-the-voter government 

with a high degree of two-way communication 

and participation. My goal is to help 

improving a livable town-center environment 

for Twin Oaks … a small town jewel 

with-in greater metro St. Louis. I want to 

ensure our citizen, commercial and economic 

future remain bright. With well 

planned maintenance and improvements 

in security, stormwater, park and roadways 

in all zones, working with our commercial 

community and citizens an enhanced future 

for the Twin Oaks community can continue. 

• • • 

My background includes 31 years marketing/business 

vocational education coordinator 

at Lindbergh High. I came to Twin 

Oaks in 1977 and have long been involved 

in it’s well-being and development activities 

to promote Twin Oaks’ betterment. 

I’ve served both Planning & Zoning and/or 

our Board of Aldermen through the origi-

nal development, expansion and re-development 

of our commercial zone and park. 

I’ve also helped with park beautification, 

events and residential zone improvement. 

Our financial condition is among the most 

sound our state. We must research, debate 

and consult our professional services to 

assure we move forward successfully, promoting 

Twin Oaks’ future as a great place 

to live, serve and play.

WILDWOOD 

Councilmember Ward 1 

Larry Brost 

My wife, Stacie, and I love living in 

Wildwood. Now more than ever City 

Council needs to stand united to defeat 

the threatened St. Louis City-County 

merger and loss of Wildwood as we know 

it. There is a growing dysfunction of our 

city council. Improving the current state 

of city council is essential for the advancement 

of Wildwood. We need listening and 

caring now! United with my neighbors, I 

support the city charter and master plan as 

envisioned by the founders. I will bring an 

independent voice in supporting the views 

and opinions of my neighbors within Ward 

1 and throughout Wildwood. 

• • • 

My business career spans 40-plus years 

ranging from a start of a bank, a technology 

company and my current business, now in 

its 17th year. As a CPA and former finance 

execute with a multibillion-dollar financial 

institution, I have extensive background 

in mergers, planning for the expected and 

unexpected, internal controls and financial 

reporting. Within that role I gained experience 

through approximately 50 mergers 

and feel I am uniquely qualified to help 

Wildwood. Finally, I have the ability to 

listen, care and remain open to opportunities 

with the goal of reaching the best solution 

for the good of the community. 

David Hudson 

City progress should be determined by 

the City Council and guided by the voices 

of the residents, the city charter and the 

master plan. I support extending access 

to water and sewers where feasible and 

high-speed internet to the large portion of 

Wildwood where it is currently unavailable. 

I support conservative fiscal decisions with 

no gifts for developers.

My wife and I have been residents of 

what is now Wildwood since 1987. We participated 

in the drive to give the residents 

of the area a voice in local development 

by the creation of the city of Wildwood. 

My daughter and son grew up in the local 

school system. I believe I can help preserve 

and improve the unique character 

and naturescapes of Wildwood.

Simply voting is not enough anymore. I 

believe I have a responsibility to give back 

to our community and help shape its future. 

I have benefited from our excellent Rockwood 

schools, parks and community events 

growing up in Ward 2; I want to preserve 

these benefits for future generations. My 

top priorities are to oppose the St. Louis 

City-County merger; honor our master 

plan and city charter; maintain a safe community 

and a healthy, green environment; 

have an efficient budget and well-planned 

economic development without city property 

taxes; and have a local government 

based on civility and responsibility.

I received a master’s degree in public 

affairs [MPA] with a public policy specialty 

from the University of Missouri. I 

am experienced in public policy development, 

government relations, international 

policy, economic development and rural 

governance research. I have lobbied on 

behalf of higher education in our state 

legislature, gaining experience in consensus 

building and compromise. I am 

level-headed with a calm temperament, am 

willing to work with others, and believe in 

loving thy neighbor. I offer a much-needed 

fresh perspective as an independent person, 

unencumbered by entanglements. I’ll put 

Ward 2 first! I would appreciate your vote 

on April 2. 

Tony Salvatore 

We have a looming battle coming, that 

if not stopped soon, will change the city 

in which we live. I am talking about the 

proposed St. Louis City-County merger. If 

approved, it will put us under the jurisdiction 

of Metro St. Louis. We must all come 

together to stop the merger and keep control 

of our schools, police and fire departments, 

city services and zoning to maintain our 

home values. If elected I will hold regular 

Ward 2 meetings to exchange and share 






@WESTNEWSMAG 



news not only about the city-county merger, 

but to hear what you have to say. We can 

stop the merger if we all work together!

My wife and I have lived in Wilwood 

Ward 2 for 28 years and have raised our 

four children here. The two of us are economically, 

socially and civically invested 

in Wildwood. I am a veteran and retired 

after 37 years at TWA/American Airlines. 


Tammy Shea* 

I am running for City Council to represent 

the interest of residents who value 

honest, open and transparent government. 

My priorities include stopping the St. Louis 

City County merger, providing an equitable 

system of government, stopping subsidies 

for developers, and advancing development 

of a village green in town center. 

• • • 

I have served this city for many years and 

possess experience in all aspects of planning, 

ordinances, zoning and the importance 

of a resident centered government 

that is the foundation of Wildwood. I am the 

most experienced and effective voice on city 

council. My unwavering support for the city 

charter is needed more now than ever. 

Kenneth E. Remy 

I am running for this office because I 

believe in building community and giving 

back. My entire adult life has been predicated 

on this core value whether as a physician-scientist 

or a community activist. It 

will not be negotiated. I believe and will 

lead in listening to citizens, voicing citizen 

concerns and bringing these concerns 

to the council with civility; bringing local 

action to oppose the proposed St. Louis 

City-County merger; supporting our city 

charter, Town Center and master plans; 

preserving our green space; supporting our 

local small business community; improving 

public safety; and maintaining fiscal 

conservatism 

• • • 

I have experience holding several 

appointed and elected positions in many 

international, national and local organizations, 

including the Wildwood Town Center 

update team and Board of Adjustment. 

As an ICU physician, I have experience 

making critical lifesaving decisions while 

appraising data and leading a team. I believe 

in being approachable, civil and taking 

action. I am currently working on fixing our 

eroding creeks, working to improve safety 

around our schools and providing action 

against any merger in collaboration with 

our neighbors. I firmly believe that a rational 

voice leading the charge coupled with a 

positive history of collaboration will allow 

Wildwood to lead from our beautiful green 

pastures.. 


Jean Vedvig 

I support open transparent and consistent 

application of local government as prescribed 

by the laws of 

Wildwood. I will work to protect Wildwood 

against the proposed St. Louis City- 

County merger, our incorporation will be 

undermined by this consolidation; protect 

property values by supporting the master 

plan, charter, Town Center Plan; promote 

fiscal responsibility and accountability 

to all citizens; oppose tax giveaways for 

developers; stop the need for a tax increase; 

develop a Village Green in Town Center 

for community events and an expanded 

Community Garden on city property; and 

support the continued development of the 

Parks and Trails for the benefit of Wildwood 

families with no tax increase. 

• • • 

My record of dedication and experience 

serving residents stands on its own. I worked 

for the incorporation of our premier community 

and intend to protect our zoning. Zoning 

laws protect property values. My consistent 

involvement provides me with an understanding 

of residents needs. I served honorably 

as a council member and on one the 

first Planning and Zoning Commissions, the 

Town Center Advisory Board, Administration 

and Public Works Committee. Winding 

Trails Subdivision Trustee. My experience 

and contribution affords me the confidence to 

represent all residents first. If elected citizens 

will know what to expect. 

Katie Dodwell* 

I feel that it is important that Ward 4 have 

a representative that can be a collaborative 

voice for all residents. Having a strong reputation 

of a professional work ethic and teamwork 

sets me apart. The top issues that are 

important to Ward 4 and the city from my 

perspective include sidewalk improvements 

on Strecker Road, road improvements along 

Hwy. 109, master plan zoning and taking 

strong actions against Better Together to 

insure Wildwood residents continue to run 

their own city. I ask that you vote for an 

experienced member of your Wildwood 

Team, Katie Dodwell – Ward 4. 

• • • 

Being an IT management team member 

for over 30 years, I understand the importance 

of teamwork. I am very adept at finding 

individuals strengths to make teams 

work together effectively. I currently serve 

as your Ward 4 councilmember. Additionally, 

I’m a member of the following city of




Wildwood committees: Economic Development 

Committee chair, Administration/ 

Public Works Committee member and City 

Administrator Search Committee chair. 

Prior to being your councilmember, I served 

on Wildwood’s Charter Review Committee 

and Parks Planning Committee among 

a few. I served on Rockwood School District’s 

Technology Committee as well as its 

Strategic Planning Committee. 


Dave Bertolino* 

My first priority is to aggressively challenge 

by all legal means possible, the St. 

Louis City-County merger as currently 

proposed by the Better Together organization. 

To accomplish this, an equally high 

priority is to strive for civility and mature 

discourse on our City Council. 

• • • 

I have represented the residents of Ward 

5 for the past seven years and consider 

it a privilege to work in behalf of these 

citizens. During my tenure I have tried to 

listen to all concerns, discuss alternatives 

in a mature and rational fashion, and vote 

on issues consistent with the desires of my 

fellow ward residents and the goals and 

objectives of our city. We potentially have 

some very pressing issues facing our city 

in the next two years, and I believe I can 

contribute greatly to mustering the energy 

of all citizens in the fight to protect our city.

R. Jon Bopp* 

If re-elected, I will work to protect 3-acre 

minimum lot sizes – no PRDs; improve 

recycling and trash collection; attain rural 

internet service for all; protect free speech

meetings; support the Wildwood master 

plan and city charter; and oppose the proposed 

St. Louis City-County merger.

I am a lifelong resident of Ward 6 and

a beautiful place to raise a family.

neighbors in Wildwood’s Ward 6. 

Rob Arthur 

I’m running to help restore a fully functioning 

municipal government, which will 

be guided in its work by a sincere desire 

and a solemn promise to truly represent 

the needs, wants and desires of its permanent 

citizen residents, exclusively. Sadly, 

on many occasions, our current municipal 

government has turned a blind eye and a 

deaf ear to the will of its constituents. It has 

chosen, instead, to ignore clear mandates 

from its citizens and support projects and 

initiatives that have irreparably harmed 

[and continue to threaten] the peace, tranquility, 

serenity and natural beauty that are 

the essence of Wildwood.

I’m a Washington University School of

Missouri law, as it pertains to the organization

issues that our city will face, as it moves forward.

Chris Young 

A resident of Wildwood for over 20 

years, I have witnessed progress that 

moved the city forward following the 

master plan. In more recent years, I have 

unfortunately seen progress that aims to 

benefit a select few. I am troubled by the 

infighting amongst some of our current 

leaders and would like to more closely 

represent the needs and concerns of Ward 

8 with complete transparency and dignity. 

My priorities are to bring decency 

and transparency back to Wildwood; 

work to preserve our city’s character 

and environment; bring back respect for 

residents and the rule of law; continue 

to expand public spaces and parks; and 

work to block any and all attempts at a 

city/county merger.

I have lived in Missouri my entire life,

I believe I have a good understanding

move forward to accomplish these goals 

together. I believe it is our duty to stand 

up for our city and serve the residents of 

Wildwood, not ourselves.

PARKWAY SCHOOL DISTRICT 

Board of Directors 

Farida Ahsan 

I’m running for board because education 

is of paramount importance to me 

and the vitality of our community. As the 

first South Asian female candidate to run 

for Parkway’s board, I want to bring a 

fresh voice to the table and ensure that the 

diversity of our community is represented 

at a decision-making level in our school 

system. My top priorities are mental health, 

bullying, and eliminating suspensions and 

instead focusing on productive alternatives 

that address the underlying needs of our 

students. Overall, I want to ensure that we 

are creating a better Parkway for all. 

• • • 

I am a trained Montessori teacher and 

have taught students all the way up to 10th 

grade. I have experience catering to students 

and parents, collaborating with other 

educators, and fostering strong relationships 

between school districts and communities. 

I currently serve on the inclusion 

advisory group for St. Louis Realtors, 

which focuses on driving changes in real 

estate business practices to reflect the 

growing cultural diversity within the St. 

Louis region, as well as promoting federal 

and state Fair Housing practices. I would 

be honored to bring these same ideals of 

inclusion and representation to our school 

board as well. 

Salvatore [Sam] Sciortino* 

My primary reason in continuing service 

as a Parkway Board member is to work 

collaboratively and enthusiastically with 

the board, superintendent, district administration, 

principals, faculty and staff, 

along with the broader district community 

of parents and patrons to accomplish our 

mission and vision for the achievement of 

all students in growing to become capable, 

confident, caring and curious throughout 

their years in Parkway. Among my priorities 

are providing professional learning for 

teachers to effectively assist students with 

dyslexia, social emotional, mental health, 

addiction and other needs they may have; 

providing personalized learning opportunities 

for students and ensuring safety and 

security throughout Parkway Schools. 

• • • 

I am very passionate and dedicated to 

educating our Parkway children and teens 

with the very best learning both academically 

and as persons of character. My professional 

experience as an administrator 

and principal in Parkway highly qualifies 

me to serve as a board member for a fourth 

term. Throughout my career in Parkway 

and as a member of the board, I have listened, 

studied, researched, asked questions 

and have participated in decisions that 

have the highest positive impact on excellent 

learning opportunities for all students 

along with fiscal responsibility. I love 

working on behalf of wonderful Parkway 

children and teens!







Sudhir Rathod* 

I am a Parkway resident, taxpayer and 

proud dad of a North High graduate. I am 

running for my re-election as I believe in 

giving back and serving our community. I 

bring to the table much needed diversity 

and different perspective to the board. I 

represent every student, taxpayer, resident 

and citizen of the district. My priorities 

are providing common sense leadership; 

leading Parkway to be No. 1; improving 

college readiness; supporting complete 

education in developing a whole child; 

and building a highly qualified and strong 

future generation 

• • • 

My qualifications include being a U.S. 

citizen who loves this country and likes 

to give back to the community in various 

ways; having a desire to represent everyone 

in the community; being a visionary 

who likes to focus on bigger picture; and 

having master’s degree in business administration 

and years of experience. Every 

student is of equal importance to me. 

Pamela [Pam] Hill 

I am running for this office because I 

care deeply about Parkway and all its students. 

Parkway’s mission is to ensure that 

all students are capable, curious, caring, 

and confident learners who understand 

and respond to the challenges of an everchanging 

world. My priority is to focus 

on the word “all” and to support policies 

and programs that support the best for all 

students, all schools, and all community 

members by addressing academics; social, 

emotional, and physical needs; staffing; 

and finances. Parkway is among our area’s 

top school districts; as a board member, I 

would work to make it even better. 

• • • 

I believe that serving the community is 

one of the most important things any citizen 

can do. I have been a Parkway parent 

and an active district volunteer for seven 

years, from the school level to the district 

level. I work in education, so I have deep 

knowledge of the district and of educational 

issues. I am committed to the time 

and study it takes to be an effective board 

member, and I am committed to listening 

to district constituents. I am proud to have 

earned the endorsement of the Parkway 

National Education Association. 

ROCKWOOD SCHOOL DISTRICT 

Board of Directors 

Loralee Mondl* 

I am once again running for the Rockwood 

School Board because I love kids and 

feel as if I have so much more to give to 

our community. My top priorities include 

providing our families with a great educational 

value; innovation for all students; a 

balanced budget, support for our students 

in their social and emotional needs; and 

guidance for our teachers and staff to nurture 

our students to new heights every day. 

• • • 

I have been on the Rockwood Board of 

Education for almost six years and currently 

service as its president. My experience 

in the district has been as a teacher, 

parent, volunteer and board member. I 

love kids and have worked hard to make 

sure they are given the best educational 

experience possible. I am highly qualified 

because of my continued dedication to 

Rockwood kids. 

Azra Ahmad 

I want to give back to the district that has 

given so much to my children. As a school 

board member, my focus will be on the 

ever changing needs of our students. The 

culture and the environment in which children 

are growing up in is so different now 

from 10 years ago. Kids now are dealing 

with high levels anxiety, depression and 

other mental health issues, often times on 

a daily basis. I will dedicate myself to help 

and support the board as they continue to 

focus on the mental wellness of our students 

through social and emotional learning 

programs. 

• • • 

My education and community service 

activities make me well equipped to serve 

as a board member. I have a Bachelor of 

Arts degree in psychology from Washington 

University, a Masters of Science 

degree in speech/language pathology and 

a Juris Doctor [JD] from St. Louis University 

School of Law. I currently am on 

the board of the Center of Hearing and 

Speech and the human relations commission 

of St. Louis County. 

Thomas R. Dunn 

As a parent of a second-grader, I am 

invested in ensuring that Rockwood 

remains one of the top school districts in 

Missouri and the nation. Rockwood must 

continue to keep its facilities in excellent 

condition so that teachers and students 

have equal opportunity and access to the 

best amenities. I owe it to the students 

and taxpayers to show a return on their 

investment. 

• • • 

As a resident and parent in the district, 

I have a pragmatic perspective of both 

the classroom and facilities in the district. 

My corporate business experience is very 

transferable to the business of advising 

the district on organizational and financial 

matters. 

Next Project Studio is a St. Louis-based, 

award-winning design/build firm with an 

emphasis in design-driven home improvement 

for projects of all shapes and sizes. 

Next Project Studio bridges the gap between 

design and remodel. Experienced designers 

and staff with Next Project Studio manage the 

whole project for homeowners from start to 

finish, serving as one point of accountability. 

Owned and operated by designer Dana King, Next Project Studio was created 

to help individuals pursue design and home remodeling needs without the hassle 

of juggling multiple companies, architects and contractors. 

“I started [Next Project] because I saw people frustrated with trying to work with 

multiple trades and vendors, and I thought I could deliver a better experience if 

everything was managed under one roof,” King said. 

Instead, Next Project Studios is a “one-stop shop” for construction and design 

needs, from the ever-popular kitchen and 

bathroom remodels to whole home remodels, 

and even home additions. According to King, 

the goal is to streamline the design process 

to contain costs and time timelines thanks 

to both in-house construction and designer 

experience. 

From cabinets to countertops, light fixtures and even furnishings and window 

treatments, designers walk clients through the process or serve as a reference for 

homeowners who already have a vision in mind. 

“We tailor our services to meet each clients’ individual needs,” King said. “A 

lot of clients have their own style, and we work with each client on what they 

individually want. We are diverse, and we can 

handle any challenge.” 

For one kitchen remodel, King created a 

hidden passage behind a door made to look 

like a pantry to blend in with the room’s new 

cabinetry and other features. 

“We really have a solution for any home remodel,” King said. “We can create 

solutions with style for any awkward or dysfunctional space.” 

Next Project Studio has worked across the greater St. Louis area, including St. 

Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. 

The firm has also received the Angie’s List Super Service Award eight years 

in a row and has been top-rated in three categories; Interior design, general 

remodeling and kitchens and baths. 

The firm is also a recipient of the St. Louis AT HOME magazine Architect and 

Designers Award three years in a row. 

“We want to make the process enjoyable,” King said. 

Each project starts with an individual consultation, which includes a visit from 

both a designer and a construction expert.
